Any ideas on value for this signed copy of Doom 3 for the PC?  It was signed by Gabe Newell.

I would like to think reaching out to him he would consider signing items to this day so along the lines of that thinking I would not place alot of value on an item like this. As go with signatures it would need some provenance or proof of siganture for it to have value. Just IMO.

It appears he had nothing to do with the Doom series besides being a fan?

For those who do not know who this is.

Gabe Logan Newell (born November 3, 1962), commonly known by his nickname Gaben (/ˈɡeɪbˈɛn/), is an American computer programmer and businessman best known as the co-founder of the video game development and digital distribution company Valve Corporation. Born in Colorado, he attended Harvard University in the early 1980s, but dropped out and soon went to work for the American technology company Microsoft, where he spent the next decade working as a producer for some of their early Windows operating systems.

While working at Microsoft, Newell and his co-worker Mike Harrington were impressed by computer games that were being released in the mid-1990s, such as id Software's Doom and Quake. Fully convinced that video games were the future of entertainment, and intrigued by the prospect of having their own game development studio, Newell and Harrington left Microsoft in 1996 to found Valve, where Newell remains president.

Why would having Gabe Newell sign something from id software matter in a good way?

hahahaha, dang!  Fine.  It is a family relation who used to work at Valve  



Thanks for the input guys!  I figure this is just a weird one but thought I'd check in with the community.  You all never disappoint!
