TK-2970, you and I share the same opinion. I first thought the same way about charging for autographs as you did.
Welcome to the boards!

Thanks for the welcome DS. Getting the 8x10 signed will be nice but I am also bringing my Essential Character Guide, the updated one with AOTC characters in it, and I will have the celebs sign their respective characters page. By the way. what's the policy for taking photos in the signing area. I know others posted earlier that you could get a photo with the celebs when you get your stuff signed but what about just photos of them siging?

The coupons are all $10, but some autographers apparently can charge 1 or 2 or 10 coupons per autograph.  I much prefer the one price fits all.

Some guests will require 1 coupon per autograph, some 2, and so on.
"and so on"...
I would not be surprised if some celebs, like Carrie Fisher would cost three or four coupons.

That "and so on" is really ambiguous. I don't like that at all.
As for cameras, at C2 you could wander the autograph areas and take pictures as your items were signed or maybe celebs from a small distance. But do not expect guys with long lines to take pictures with you and if you do snap photos while they're signing your stuff, it is just common courtesy to ask. Some of the actors that had small to no lines were very nice and would take pics with you as long as it was not inconveniencing others in line.

man, now that makes me almost afraid of trying to go get autographs, waiting in like for a hour or two and then you get up to them and they are like 4 coupons please... and you only have one left.. thats about wrong. i hope someone that has influence over that reads this because thats just absurd. i can understand charging for their autograph cause if they didnt we could easily take it and sell it and make a profit off of them, fine, charge away but keep it all the same..
just annoyed.

I'm sure they'll let people know ahead of time how many coupons are needed for each person.
I would be surprised if you'd need more than 3, and even then that would be for major players, like Fisher, Hamill, or Ford.
okay, I could see 4 or even 5 for Ford, but c'mon, it's Han!

I would love a Ford autograph.
I agree with Intrepid. I like the sound of all one certain price. Mark Hamill charged $100 for autographs at EFF. That seems a little wrong.
Guess I'll need to get into the Fisher line first thing in the morning.

One hundred dollars for Hamill's autograph?!?!? Are you serious?!?!  That's insane!!
I much prefer the one price fits all.
So do I!

He was charging $100 because he didn't want people turning around and selling them on eBay since he hardly ever signs SW merchandise.
I got a copy of Comic Book the movie signed by him last year when he was in NY. I forgot how much but I think it was like $30, including the dvd.

Man, I miss the good old days. David Prowse for free at a local video store. Anthony Daniels for free at Dragon*Con '94. Kenny Baker, Jeremy Bulloch, Peter Mayhew, and Warrick Davis two autographs a piece for $5 each on a Men Behind the Masks tour.
If that red-headed model can get away with charging $20 an auto at most shows without ever having been in a movie, we'll never see free Star Wars autographs again.

I thought Harrison did not do the conventions, I don't really ever remember seeing or hearing about him being at one. Would be nice if he was there though...
