The most I've paid so far is $25, especially for someone who isn't as well-known/retired. {up}

If I ever got to chance to meet someone who rarely signs (like Sir Paul McCartney, as a few of you have mentioned,) I think I'd be more than happy to pay way more than that. :mrgreen:

I have paid a lot for many different people for autographs in person. But since realizing that many sign TTM, I won't go over 25 for an autograph

I go to a lot of book signings. Considering you HAVE to buy the book at full price it is like paying the person to sign. I think the highest I've paid is about $35 for either Hillary Clinton or Sylvester Stallone.

On the other hand if I ever had the opportunity I'd pay $100+ to have Paul McCartney sign something IP.

i wouldnt pay, because usually i dont have extra money, i always have to save money and plan on what im buying, as someone mentioned 5$ would be fair enough for autographed photo and postage.

If I got to meet/chat ith them, I would have no problem paying over $200 for certain celebs (Rihanna is one that comes to mind)

It would really depend on whether I could obtain them TTM, how rare their signtaure was etc.

I want to eventually complete my Lord of the Rings cast collection. Christopher Lee is the thorn in my side, as he charges £70+ on his website and I wouldn't even get a dedication. I would never pay that much. If he did a convention and if I could get his signature on something of my choice with a dedication, and it was only £20 then I would do it, as I get to meet him as well.

People who go to conventions and are easy to get for free, depending who it was, I would pay it as I get to meet them as well.

IP's: Britney Spears ($Too Much). Mel Gibson and Will Smith I'd easy drop $100-$150 if they were to me

Other People: $20-$30. Depending if it was an 8x10 or a card they pulled from a pack.

What about stars that don't get much work? Most of the people that attend conventions don't really work too much, so they do conventions as an extra source of income. Charging the price of printing the photo would only hurt them.

I have and it's not so much for the actual signature as the experience. I like having my picture taken with the celeb more than the autograph, but there is typicaly a discount price for one signature and photo with the talent so I do that.

I only do it for very select names. Basically I would only be willing to pay to meet Pacino, DeNiro, Scorsese, gandolfini, Imperioli, Nic Cage, Travolta, Christopher Walken, Adam Sandler, Eminem, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Snoop, and some of the athletes I grew up admiring.

I try to avoid paying for autographs as much as possible; but in certain instances TTM and IP are near impossible so I do it.

In all honesty I disagree with a celeb charging for a signature. I understand at conventions a person pays the star X amount and the person sets the price; but celebs who charge directly bother me. Leah Remini charges what it costs her for the photo and shipping; i wish more were like her. To me $5 for a professional phot, authentic signature, and the postage is a deal.
