Just thought I would post this and see if it gains any traction. Seems like it would be a win-win for musicians to sign the cover of a CD booklet before the pages are stapled together. It would stop these ridiculous signed inserts.

agree - I will no longer pre-order anything with a signed insert.  Dont care for them at all

The short answer, IMO, is that trying to martial an artist signing the unstapled CD covers before they go to the packaging facility is unfeasible from a logistics perspective. You're shipping twice the amount of material to the artist, who somehow has to coordinate all this (with management/the label) before these go off to the shipping facility.

I thought the whole reason why signed inserts were a thing is because it was far faster to get them further in advance and time it so that the signed editions are hitting just before the main release (so as to boost first-week sales).

Even in books, having the author sign the title page directly is far more difficult than just getting them to sign a stack of tip-in pages.
