    Correct me if I am wrong, but are the signatures not just Resident in different handwriting?
    Still love this release regardless

      They were signed by people who visited Ralph HQ pretending to be the Residents, though of course a real Resident might have signed some as well. Or not. Or all. You never know with the Residents ;-)
