Very true, i never really thought about that. It certainly does bring a bit of life to the piece.

To me, the quality of the signature (boldness, fluidity) is the most important thing. I would rather have very nice autograph on just a piece of paper than an ugly autograph, or a faded one, on a more prominent item such as an album or photo. Of course, I'd rather have both. I like to have my cake and eat it too!

Yep. Some people say they rather have a signed album than a piece of paper. Makes sense. Going back to the earlier, would you rather have that miserable scribble that looks nothing like her writing, or something like this one a piece of paper?

I would extend this topic.... what are your tips for obtaining best possible (the nicest possible) autograph? :) How ideal "in-person" autograph should look like?

Honestly, I think a tactic that sometimes works is to ask for a personalization. Not always effective, but sometimes. I asked Warpaint to sign "To Rich," and I noticed they all signed much more nicely than some of the faster scribbles I'd seen on Ebay.

Some of these guys should ask for a personalization that says, to ebay!

Bono did that at the 2006 Barnes and Noble book signing. Too many Ebayers crashed the offical fanclvb signing, and Larry Mullen got a bit irked.

They're always goof to the fans, and they did sign very nicely at that sit down signing. Emails were supposed to go only to selected fanclub members, but people cashed in.
