This is my opinion on it. If you are putting your signature on something, you are endorsing that item. It means that you created it, and have approved that piece. To approve a piece IMHO you have to see it to make sure it's as you want it...to make sure it meets your standard of quality. That does in fact have value. If a signature has 0 value then why do some collectors insist on one? Not all do, but some do and that means that to those people, it does have value. For me, I can't endorse my final piece without having seen it.
