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! Rodney

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?

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?
