One thing you need to consider is how many signatures will cover the mask. If you're talking 10, that might look aesthetically awkward, you know? Especially with the curves and contours of a Gunnar mask. On a smooth hockey mask, a multitude of signatures (especially indifferent colors) might look great...but a Gunnar mask might only look good with 3 or 4 signatures. And on that note, the coolness of having multiple signatures might be surpassed if you choose Gunnar Hansen's signature and a randomized 2 or 3 other actors. (You know what I'm saying? It's almost like an all-or-nothing mentality on having any additional sigs other than Gunnar.You really have to weigh the importance of which actors you want signed. Generally, the more the better seems to work in the collecting industry, but if it looks too muddled a mask, it could just end up looking silly.And FYI - in my opinion, if you do just have Gunnar sign it...I would have him sign on the inside - as to not distort the original appearance of the mask.As for the Faerch mask.... Are you planning on displaying the mask perpetually inside the box?If so, have him sign the box, definitely. The mask is too small to have good signature.BUT.......if you can somehow convince that little turd to put on the mask for a picture with you, then I would have him sign the inside of the mask. Usually, actors are too boastful and proud to put on a fan mask at a convention, but this kid is new and probably cognizant to the fact that he'll never land another acting gig (thus essentially making this his 'bread and butter') and he'll probably put it on. I had Gunnar put on my TCM 1 mask by his own choice (I didn't even suggest it) and it made the resale value skyrocket. Let us know what you end up doing....
