The only one I'm confident enough to guess is number 5, I think it's Gav Thorpe

Strikes me as an item that some individuals will indeed want, but I can't see a massive demand for.

I would set a price and be prepared to wait for a buyer.

I'm not sure we're talking much more than £10 - £15 though.

I appreciate that they are GW employees involved in the production of the game but we aren't exactly talking Oscar winners here are we? I mean, I'm sure Alessio and Jervis et al are lovely people and all and talented game designers but I'm not sure I would value their signatures as worth much more than my own to be perfectly frank.

I'm pretty sure 1 is Mike from accounting 2 is frank the mail room clerk and 3 is Tom the checkout guy at the front desk but other than those in not sure. Either way they're all worth about the same thing.

Number 2 seems to have everyone stumped... Time for an FAQ?

Hi there, I'm pretty sure 2 is Cavatore. If you compare it with Alessio they look like being written by the same person. Actually when I looked at the poster without reading your post Cavatore was the first I recognized :-)

There are two blog posts about the same topic on Magpie and Old Lead. I haven't read them entireley but they help with identifying GW designers' sigs

Unless the signature comes with a Certified letter of authansity it's not worth much.

If the article itself is sought after like Jes Goodwin's The Gothic and the Eldritch and it is signed you can get quite a sum for it. The signatures are a welcome addition. A poster like the one in the OP has been available in the thousands on Games Days world wide, so a lot of them were signed. 10-15 GBP like Flashman already mentioned is soemthing people will pay for it. Maybe even more if someone collects either Dwarf or Goblin merchandise. Or for nostalgic reasons. The starter set with this artwork is from 2006 if you want to add that to the auction
