not really, most of them are illegible scribbles anyway. Clear autographs will always be more valuable to someone who cares enough to purchase such an item.
Reminds me of one of those storage unit shows where they found a mitt supposedly signed by Shoeless Joe Jackson. They took it to someone who told them if it was his autograph, it would be worth a lot, but there was one problem- Joe was illiterate.
The value of an autograph should be the memory of meeting someone you admire or whose work you enjoy, not how many bucks you can make selling that autograph on eBay.
Depends on who they are and, more importantly, what they signed. Also I’ve heard how hurried or well they signed it compared to other items they’ve slapped their signature on. For instance you’d probably want a guitar signed by Jimi Hendrix with an intricate signature rather than a postcard he sent to a friend that was scribbled.
That’s not really true, because the autograph being in the market can also increase demand. Someone who gives many autographs might be more likely to be perceived by others as desireable to get an autograph from – at the end of the day, your autograph is also a marketing tool. Fans who got your autograph will potentially show it off to their friends, thereby potentially recruiting new fans who may want your autograph.

(Excluding the first time).
Autographs are only worth something (monetary value) after they’re dead…

Financial value maybe, and to that I say good.

Bro but if anyone got a signature from Robin Williams it just increases

It doesn’t work like that.
Some sign so many that getting a non-signed copy of their book costs more:

If the value of something personal would be measured in money, you would be right. There are other values 😉
