Franc one of the things that I do think is fairly retarded is that at
the Hollywood show, many stars will charge you an extra $5 to sign
the item you walked in with.
let's do the math $30 for me to give you my photo that cost me money
with my autograph.
$35 for your photo which cost me nothing
if anything, it should be reversed - $25 to sign your photo

I was actually at an autograph in which Ann-Margaret was the star

ridiculous. I was also at a show with Sam J. Jones. I was willing to
pay him to autograph things I brought auch as the one sheet from
Flash Gordon and his centerfold but he was only willing to autograph
the photo repro crap he brought with him. Admittedly I wanted to
re-sell that stuff on Ebay but he didn't know that. He told me he
was "in a different place now". I wanted to inform him that he was
at a tacky celebrity show in Burbank but I didn't bother. If
celebrities don't want to be photographed in a public place, I can
almost understand that but if they actually come to a celebrity show
to sell their autographs and their photos, I can't fathom why they
wouldn't allow a fan to take a photo with them or to autograph a
personal memorabilia that a fan has brought especially when the fan
would pay for this dubious honor. FRANC

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??

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)
