I totally agree, I don't know quite what a Gloria Swanson signature adds to a Sunset Boulevard poster (I'm sure some wag will tell me around $1000).

The casts are long since departed on many of the posters i admire, but who knows what the De Havilland sisters are up to in France....

Am I alone in not wanting items - particularly rare ones - to be scrawled over with sharpies? Luckily a man who was very interested in my UK Wicker Man 1 sheet (who proposed to get everyone still alive from the movie to sign it) gave it a miss, and it finally went to a good home instead. However, I was genuinely poised not to sell it to him, because it would have been ruined - a poster no longer, just the receptacle of some retired actors' signatures. It's not like these posters are falling out the trees!

I'd like to know if anyone has been put in the tricky situation of NOT wanting someone to autograph an item?

Did, for example, any of you once get your Forbidden Planet 1sh autographed by Leslie Nielsen at an event and then have to grab the sharpie out of the hand of non-featured player before they also signed?

I think the difference is a celebrity signing one autograph for a fan in the comfort of their home is one thing. But when the celebrity is traveling and signing 100's of signatures at a show, that's a whole different deal. Who's going to do that for free?

WHO FERGIN CARES IF THEY CHARGED OR NOT

WHY SHOULD SOMEONE GIVE YOU SOMETHING FOR FREE THAT HAS A CASH VALUE

DO YOU DONATE YOUR PROFITS TO CHARITY??

AND IF YOU THINK MICKEY MANTLE NEVER CHARGED FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH - YOU NEVER WENT TO A BASEBALL CARD SHOW

does anyone have a historical perspective of this "paying" practice?

i cannot imagine the legends like bette davis, sinatra, liz taylor, hitchcock, lucille ball would ever ask......except if 100% of the money went to a charity.

did mickey mantle or babe ruth ever charge?
