Sign my DVD please? (merged)

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
I have a question for those that get DVD's signed. I have a chance to meet C. Thomas Howell in a couple of weeks. I intend to have him sign the most recent release of Francis Ford Coppola's "The Outsiders." My question is this: given the choice on a release like this, would you have him sign the coverart or the slipcover?
I'm leaning toward the coverart. One of the reasons for this is that it'll keep it consistant with my other signed DVD's. Another: the slipcase has one of those holes cut out where the UPC is. I doubt it'll ever happen, but if that ever gets caught on something and tears, I'll be quite sad to have damaged the part of the DVD that I had him sign. A signature just seems more protected inside of the plastic on the keepcase...as opposed to on a slipcover on the outside of the disc.
However, if I do get the coverart signed, does that mean I should toss the slipcase? I'm a completist collector who freaks out over things like missing slipcovers (even if they are, as is the case here, identical to the coverart). It's just something I'm anal about. However, if I keep the slipcover, it'll cover up the signature.
Which would you have signed, coverart or slipcover?

There's an event coming up here in January and Robert Englund's going to be one of the guests. I'm probably going to get my Nightmare Collection box, but not sure if I should get one of the sides (with the embossed Freddy), or the top. I'm leaning towards the top since it'll never slide against anything, and a signature on the embossed side might not be as 'clean.'

You can still cover it up with the slipcover, unless you have all your autographed stuff displayed somewhere special, in which case, you can just store the slipcover elsewhere.
Edit: I just remembered I had to have one slipcover signed because there was no other real option. This was when Richard Donner and Laura Shuler Donner signed Xmen 2.5. I just have to be extra careful nothing rubs against the cover.

Most people (outside of the "The State" circle) seemed excited that someone gave them Wet Hot to sign.
I proposed to Amy Poehler as she was signing the DVD. Given that she's still married to that other dude, it obviously didn't work out. Oh well.

Thanks again for the input.

Last night I went to the Sin City 2 disc release party. I got it signed by Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, and Carla Gugino. On the back Kevin Smith signed it: " I wish I had something to do with this flick ", also on the back James Duval wrote, " Do you believe in time travel, Frank the bunny ". They were all really nice people.

There was quite a crowd...more people than I expected. When I got there, I pretty much wrote off any hopes of getting an autograph. I just happened to be in the area where he walked in and out from, so after asking one of the staff volunteers which direction he'd be going when he left, I posted up. He was walking out with four police escorts when a guy directly to my right held up a huge movie poster and asked him to sign it. He stopped for him and I was next in line. I left right after getting the signature, so I'm not sure how long he stayed to meet people and sign autographs.
The lecture itself was pretty nifty. It wasn't as political as I'd expected it to be. He just talked about how he got his start in the movie business (one thing that I didn't know; Ang Lee was in his class at NYU), his past films, what it was like working with Denzel on Malcolm X, his upcoming projects and so forth.

If anyone wants to know if he'll be coming to your city, you can check here: http://www.bruce-campbell.com
The most annoying thing was he was also screening Man with the Screaming Brain. At the time I didn't know anything about the movie and didn't know Ted Raimi was in it. So here I was next in line and he comes cruising by. By the time my brain processed who he was it was my turn. What luck.
