I wonder why celebs don't like signing glossys :neutral:

-D-O-M-...

a lot of it has to do with the fact that when a celeb is presented with a stack of glossies to sign by a "fan," that "fan" is usually a pro who is selling the signed photos online. they become quite guarded and, unfortunately, are less likely to sign if you look like a pro...

That is not necessarily true.I have had one glossy ( This is why I never have them sign glossies) is because I always get weird looks ( Like I am an ebayer) or who should I make it out to? I love glossies but I hate the drama that goes with it.It's always more trouble than it should be.I live in a town where no one comes here.People should be thankful I am even asking them for their autograph instead of getting hassled.It's not just me though....Happens to my autographing buddies and they always get drama from it as well.

It's just the opposite with me. Now, I can understand celebrities turning down signing "stacks" of photos ( ebayers and dealers do this ) but living in the Hollywood area I have more problems having them sign blank cards or pieces of paper. They tell me "I don't sign blanks".
Here in Hollywood the celebrities prefer to sign photos. But usually when you volunteer a name the celebrity has a change of heart and will sign practically anything you have. Personally I like my name on a photo. A lot of times the celebrity will sign the photo with a nicer signature and sometimes they'll also write out something cool. In my opinion, in Hollywood it's more the paparazzi's fault. Celebrities hate the paparazzi! Because of them you can't have a nice conversation like Nathan did with Tobey. Sometimes, though I see celebrities a lot here, I envy people like Nathan. I wish I could carry a conversation with someone like a Tobey McGuire or a Laura Linney.

That is how it's like here where I live.I mean the opposite.They don't mind signing the blank cards but it's the glossies they hate.Maybe since my town isn't big like I said they expect more ebayers than say a bigger city like NYC or LA.
