<p>I have a couple examples of inscriptions that have gone amusingly wrong. U2's Bono apparently tried to write "Glad you're back" on my CD, though it looks like "Glue your Brussels."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Packers safety Nick Collins botched an inscription request big time. I asked him to write "Picked off Big Ben . . . dove in for the TD . . . Best Moment Ever!" What I got was "Pick off Big Ben . . . Drove it TD . . . Best Moment Ever!" My wife started laughing when she saw it. </p>

<p>Oh absolutely... there is no debating that unpersonalized inscriptions add tremendous value and desirability. Always get more when you can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, I thought the intent of the original poster was to ask more in terms of personalizations.</p>

<p>Here is a personalized and incribed item from my collection. The "Apollo 11" inscription is quite uncommon and adds tremendous value, even though it is personalized. I suspect I'd have no trouble selling this if I wanted to.…</p>

<p>If I'm not mistaken, inscriptions can mean more than simply personalizations. In that case, they could actually enhance the value of an autograph significantly. </p>
<p>As mentioned, I had Rodgers add "SB XLV MP and Heavyweight Champ" to his photo. I have an Edward Jame Olmos Blade Runner photo where he added his character's last line from the film. I had James Tolkan (BTTF's Mr Strickland) sign a photo with "SLACKER" written across the front in big bold letters. I would think that…</p>

<p>For rare, expensive and commonly forged material, inscriptions help prove authenticity in my view. I would not purchase a Ronald Reagan unless it was inscribed, for instance. He's just too easy to fake otherwise.</p>

<p>For common material, I do not want personalization. If you pay $30 for a signature at a show and it's personalized, it has zero resale value. If you want a personalization for sentimental reasons, fine... but just understand if you ever want to sell it, a…</p>

The other factor is how much I'm paying . . . if it's relatively cheap (i.e. comic con type signings), then I always get it inscribed. The rather expensive Aaron Rodgers signing, I figured it would be hard to justify (to my wife) dropping a big chunk of cash for something I couldn't sell. I had him write SB MVP and Heavyweight Champ instead.

I kinda feel the same way, although having something inscribed to someone else is a bit awkward. There is always the exception of it being inscribed to another celebrity/notable person, which I suppose could actually increase the value in some instances.

On a Ruth ball Id like it inscribed. The more writing the more words and the more mistakes a forger could make to expose themselves.

The exception to my "Inscriptions Rule", is when there are more than 2 people/members in a photo or part of that LP's line up. I don't need every member writing, "To Stephen....". Pretty much overkill & boneheadish, though some members of CSN&Y, F.Mac, and Eagles don't think so.
