Where: Big Apple Conventions, Penn Plaza Pavillion, 401 Seventh Avenue at 33rd St., New York, N.Y.
When: November 17, 2007

I got great autographs back in 2007 at the BigAppleCon:


This is Val Kilmer who personalized my Top Gun DVD. He charged $30.00 per item





This is Danielle Harris whom I got a personalized photo and my Halloween 5 DVD signed. She charged $20.00 for her items and $15.00 for yours.







This is William Mapother whom I got a personalized photo. He charged $20.00 per item.

Cool for your success but charging someone for an autograph?? Especially when you aren't that popular really isn't cool IMHO............But that is just me.............

At most conventions you pay for an autograph. They go there to make money; like contractors.

Val Kilmer is said to donate his autograph money but $30.00 is a bit much.

$20.00 seems to be the standard rate for most. I believe I saw ex-James Bond George Lazenby charge $35.00 which is the most I've seen. Some of them offer little discounts for your item like Danielle Harris did.

I had no idea! I usually go to conventions where they don't charge.I guess I am lucky lol.

Most of the conventions I have been to they charge you like crazy. You have to pay an admission fee plus the money you spend on autographs.

Also, sometimes the prices change depending on the venue you go to. I have heard people say that "so-and-so" charged a different amount at another event.

Sometimes the venue picks the price that the star will charge. Sometimes the person gets paid a flat rate for showing up at the event and other times the only money they make comes from the purchased autographs. Every event is different with how they are handled.
