Honestly, for what they charge for such an item, it's infuriating that it wouldn't have been shrink wrapped to have the signed page displayable. What would that have cost them, an extra three cents per book?
The way they have done it is more like Let's Make A Deal:
"You can have this box which may or may not contain a million dollars. If you open the box, you'll either receive $750,000 due to depreciation or nothing!"
In this case, there will be enough potential buyers who would demand to see the signatures prior to pulling the trigger that opening it isn't such a big deal. Your audience is full of crossover appeal and not entirely comprised of a bunch of Comic Book Guys. Therefore, the depreciation reflected in the above parody may be a moot point. If opened, you may run the risk of some buyers not willing to pay as much, while simultaneously opening the door to others who will actually be more interested at the same price level because they are seeing something tangible.
