http://www.ebay.com/itm/Castlevania-Symphony-of-the-Night-Lithograph-Signed-Kojima-KONAMI-/310395887924?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4845096134#ht_17001wt_1166

I've seen it 2 times in japan sites. I bought it a few years ago(for a much better price) but traded it for another (very rare)promo item.

Just so you know my collecting friends, don't give too much if interesting.

The frame is the only thing that looks valuable in that item, not many people have that kind of money to spend on collectibles anyway. I can't believe this :rollseyes:

The lithograph was beautifully displayed in the front entrance of my home. Guests would be astonished on how beautiful and unique the lithograph is.

This is quite possibly the funniest thing I've read.

So what do you think this is actually worth? We already know it's not one-of-kind.

Counting the frame? I say it's worth 70 bucks or so.

Mostly because that's a REALLY nice frame.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

The fact is, the seller knows he can't get 10% of the price for it, but people will talk about it. He wins.

the biggest problem(but the price lol) is that it doesen't seem to be konami licensed nor does it have the castlevania logo. It is a Famitsu price. To my knowledge that is a japanese magazine, not related to to Konami..

Then the only thing this item has going for it, is that it was signed by Kojima. Though I believe they are plenty pieces of her artwork that also have that. 

So it seems like this auction is a big scam, lol.

I have a Tenchi Muyo manga signed by the director of the Tenchi Muyo anime. Totally unrelated (he didn't make the manga) and it's probably still worthless.

Point of this anecdote is all you have to do is go to a convention and be patient. Signatures aren't hard to get.

+1'd for truth. I have a poster of the cast of Dragonball Z signed by the complete main English cast locked away somewhere. That cost me $75 for convention admission, $12 for the poster, and 6 total hours of waiting in various lines

And even with those signatures, the poster wouldn't be worth $87 if I tried to sell it.

I'd be lucky to get the customer to pay $15, including shipping, for that sort of thing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that... yeah. I agree with y'all. Auction's a rip-off.
