An interesting observation, which brings up two points.

Since these are in fact all sticker autographs, doesn't it make the notion of finding dual or even triple signed autograph cards less special? There is no work involved beyond producing the card and the stickers can be used in any combination, in any number that the manufacturer sees fit.

Which brings up the second question of, are we always to regard any multi-signed card, sticker or on-card, as being of a higher value than the same signers on single cards?

I don't think so. Some collectors believe that a second signature of lesser value will subtract value from the first one, rather than add value. There is precedent for that in sports autographs. For instance a single signed baseball of a star player on the sweet spot is typically worth more than a baseball autographed by that same player along with other team mates. It all depends on who is added of course, but even when it is two or more comparable stars, the item is not priced at double or triple the value of either's single signed item.

So what I am thinking in cases like this Weaver Alien autograph card is that it is more desirable to have the single signed card, than one of her multi cards. If it does turn out that the single autograph card was produced in smaller numbers than the stickers used to create the multi cards, then you would have to say that card should carry a higher value just based on the more limited supply. Right?

For me,'like' only comes into it when the prices are roughly the same. Otherwise, I'll go for what's cheapest.

Since we're also discussing dual auto cards, I was just reading the checklist for this set and noticed that there is a listing of a Weaver/Skerritt dual auto card (DA-WS). Has anyone come across this configuration?

Thank you all.

The character of Ripley changed drastically in physical appearance in each one, to the point where we can see only her face in close up and know which film it was in. Imagine if they took those stickers and divided them up across 4 separate single cards and even more dual cards. If you wanted to make ultra limited autograph cards that some people would feel compelled to chase, that would be one place to try it.

Jenette Goldstein played the pivotal role of Private Vasquez in Aliens and, for some reason that I don't know, she has never signed in an Aliens product. She has participated in Aliens reunions, so I don't think she has disowned the part. Maybe she doesn't like the offers. But she does have one certified autograph card, the only one I know about, in RA's Star Trek Complete Movies. It's A19, it's a common card and currently available on eBay for under $20.

Needless to say Goldstein, pictured as the Enterprise Science Officer in Star Trek Generations, doesn't look a bit like she did as Vasquez. It is a card that I have always considered a hidden gem despite it's apparent lack of demand. I would grab it, but I already have it. Enjoy.
