Neil;
I remember being at a Con where Gary Lockwood was there signing autographs
for 2001 items.. I approached him with something from The Magic Sword and he
refused to sign it since his mug wasn't on it. Needless to say, he didn't get
any of my money.
Off the top of my head here are some auto's I paid for vs. some that I didn't:
Paid for (either directly, or for paid merchandise):
Adam West
Frank Gorshin
Burt Ward
Linda Blair
Burt Young
Linda Lovelace
David Lynch
Peter Mayhew
Lou Ferrigno
DIDN'T pay for:
Forrest J. Ackerman
Basil Gogos
Stephen King
John Landis
Weird Al Yankovic
Michael Richards
Billy Barty
Bo Hopkins
Zacherly
Kevin McCarthy
Ted Neeley
David Naughton
Fran Drescher
Boris Vallejo
Berni Wrightson
Ken Kelley
Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett)
Phil Lesh
Caroline Munro
George Takei
Gene Roddenberry
Nichelle Nichols
DeForrest Kelley
James Doohan
Alice Cooper
I know the list is bigger, that's all I can think of at the top of my head

Years ago, I bought a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON onesheet at a poster fair
in San Francisco. The whole event was the lousiest show I ever attended, with
virtually NO visitors, and a number of bored celebrities.
One of the 'stars' around was Ben Chapman, one of the two guys who wore the
creature suit. Ben heard about the poster sale (most likely it was by far the
most expensive item that changed hands that weekend), and he immediately
offered to sign the poster.
Matter of factly, the poster already HAD his signature, apparently from years
ago. I pointed this out to him, but that didn't irritate him in the least:
Instead he suggested he could use a GOLD PEN this time... Obviously, I had to
refuse, but it was not easily done.

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?
