Even without an autograph, this Violet Beauregarde Funko is vaulted and has been out of production for many years. Demand has skyrocketed, and in just the past year, values have doubled as collectors scramble to secure higher-grade examples. Finding one in very good condition like this one is becoming increasingly difficult due to the Pop’s age and the fact that many were not stored or handled with care. This example stands out as one of the few that has survived in the upper echelon of better conditions, now elevated even further by the addition of Denise Nickerson’s rare signature and PSA’s protective encapsulation!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e—\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eHand-signed by Denise Nickerson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(\u003cem data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003eViolet Beauregarde\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1218\"\u003e— Among the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003etop 1% of rarest signed Funkos ever documented\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1283\"\u003e—\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1285\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003eSlabbed and permanently sealed by PSA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor lifetime preservation and protection\u003cbr data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1370\"\u003e— PSA has\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1420\"\u003ecertified the autograph as authentic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand graded the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003ebox an impressive 8.5\u003c\/strong\u003e, outstanding for a 9-year-old Funko Pop\u003cbr data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003e— Autograph signed in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1544\"\u003eblue paint pen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor vibrant display\u003cbr data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003e— Funko Pop #331 –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eViolet Beauregarde Edition \/ 2016 Funko San Diego Comic Con Convention Exclusive\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003eThe Pop comes in PSA’s tamper-proof permanent slab, offering museum-level protection and presentation.
