Let me explain.
Some celebrities feel that only they should be able to benefit from sales of
their image. Especially in a show where they are present.
Imagine a celebrity being asked to sign a real cool looking image, which is
a repro, and again and again fans show up with the same image to be
All my autographs I have got free, EXCEPT when I met artist Dave Gibbons at
a convention, buy a copy of Watchmen (was $20 from memory) and he signed it for
you.
That was good for me, as I hadn't (and still haven't) read Watchmen, but
everyone keeps telling me I should. So now when I finally
Exactly. Why do you think those 'celebrities' waste their time at these crappy
shows? Because it's so much fun? I have no doubt that most of the 'stars' you
see at those shows are indeed desperate for the money.

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
Personally, I never understood the point of having a poster (or any other piece
of memorabilia) signed years or decades later, to me this is completely
pointless.
Having a poster signed at or near a movie's premiere is one thing, and it makes
some sense to me, but what's the point of ANY
I did pay for an art book signed by the artist and Keanu Reeves who did the
poetry at Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I hope it pays off later when I
sell it.
I also have a signed THE HAUNTING poster by Robert Wise and Nelson Gidding

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.

I guess I sort of understand that but if the celebrity is going to refuse to
sign someone's personal memorabilia the celebrity should take into account
that he's going to lose his autograph fee, which is exactly what happened to

Maybe he figured that after his refusal you'll come to your senses and
settle for one of his prints. After all, it is HIS autograph you're
standing in line for, right? Or so he thinks.

I have a couple of signed AA awards programs.
I've never collected an autograph myself. I was lucky enough to meet many at
the awards, from Audrey Hepburn to Carey Grant, but never asked for an
autograph or a picture. I've often wondered what a nice picture collection I'd
have, but I always
In the early days of Ebay, I had an Audrey Nepburn autograph signed on a

At a Fourth of July celebration in 1985 (I believe that was the year) in
Palos Verdes, CA, Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra were scheduled to appear.
At the time, I already had a Rear Window insert...and went up to Hollywood
and bought a You Can't Take It With You lobby card for the occasion,
I have a swadge of autographed items, acquired over the years. Stills,
programs, posters. Some inscribed, some just signed.
Some I acquired myself, some acquired persoanlly for me, others turned up in
various acquired collections.
Probably the single most lovely item is a UK one sheet of THE MAN
