Franc.. I agree that people saying "don't take my picture" when they
are in a public place is also ridiculous.
You are in a public place and when companies are filming movies in a
casino (for instance) there are signs up explaining that being in the
general area constitutes your agreement to be filmed without
remuneration. Why should that apply to me, but not Ann-Margret??

allow anyone to take their photo such as Ann-Margaret or won't sign
personal items you've brought such as Sam J. Jones. You wonder why
did they bother coming to a celebrity autograph show?. I have no
problem however with them asking for money for this. FRANC

Not sure if Mike's "Right or Wrong" question pertains to the
celebrities selling their autographs at shows or the buyers selling
their signed merchandise. Either way, it's a legal living unless
they are forged. Nothing wrong with it.
I get a kick out of meeting the child stars like Jay North, Paul
Peterson, Jon Provost, Mary Badham, Erin Murphy, etc. at some of the
events. But sometimes can't help wondering why they would spend an
entire day or weekend seated behind a table selling their autographs
for $10 each or posing with you for pictures for the same price.
Sports figures sometimes have an autograph clause in their contracts
requiring them to appear at exhibitions, sign autographs and
generate income for the sponsors.

you ask if it is RIGHT OR WRONG
What is wrong with selling something you have that someone else
wants and is willing to pay for it. In addition it matters not how
it was acquired . If you own it and want to sell it - go for
it. I'll give you an example. What about those who sell the
catalogs they get free from Heritage?

i know that some ballplayers appearing at sport shows charge for
autographs. OJ !!!
some celebrities do, likewise.
is that right or wrong ?
keep in mind, many people, including MOPOers have told that they
mail inserts, photographs to film-stars, include a return envelope
and ask for an autograph, which receive gracious
responses. (obviously more stories like that years ago before a
celebrity died)
