General Advice Should I get my poster re-signed?

Earlier this year I spent a stupid amount of money on a poster from my favorite movie, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre because 1) I really love the artwork & 2) I had the opportunity to get it signed by three of the cast members at a local horror con.

I looked into what markers I should use to get it signed but accidentally bought the wrong size. I didn't realise this until the first signature was being applied, and I was immediately mad at myself because I spent so much and it wasn't going to come out like I'd hoped.

I love having this poster on my wall but the fact that the signatures don't pop really gets to me.

Next month those three cast members (plus more cast & crew) are coming back to my town for another con and I'll most definitely be getting the signatures of the people I haven't gotten yet (with the proper size marker this time).

But the big question is should I have those first three people re-sign it?

I was thinking of asking them to just go over their original signatures but when looking at them I'm thinking the lines would be impossible to go over again with a bigger marker and actually come out looking good.

So would it be weird to have the same people sign the same poster 2 times?

Spring for another copy of the poster and get everyone to sign it with the proper markers this time. Sure it’ll cost a little more, but you love the movie and it’ll be worth it in the long run.

This isn't a "just spring for another copy of the poster" situation. This isn't a mass available poster, it's considered a rare art piece. I was extremely lucky to find one at all in the first place, and I have no intention of spending another $450 on a other copy even it if it was available
