I have a question for the Lego community. Have you ever come across a signed
Lego minifigure? This means that he has been signed across the torso or back
by a famous actor or person related to star wars. If you have did you see any
value in collecting it or even buying it and then reselling it? Do you recommend
people to invest in it? I'm trying to see if there is a market for something
like this and there don't seem to be a lot available.

Thanks

I think the most important things is provenance.
If there is no provenance anyone could have signed a torso.
Forgery is a well known thing.

Therefore I am always asking myself what it is someone like you wants.
Do you have a signed minifig and do you want to sell it or keep it as an investment
or do you want such a minifig to buy?
In these cases I think it should be clear what the real reason is.

In my opinion a signed minifig is as rare as a hen’s tooth, more often boxes
are signed due to the fact it is easier as surface and structure of the cardboard.

Could be a good idea if the figure is a cheap inexpensive one.


Do not get your Cloud City Boba signed!!!!

I have a couple of 6x12 modified tile pieces signed by Bulloch, this was way
back when I ran out of stuff for him to sign so thought I would try it. I’ve
also seen people who got the 6x6 Star Wars tile pieces signed and put the figures
on them. These seemed more manageable to get sigs instead of a torso. Easier
to see when displayed also.
