    If you're blanching at Stan the Man's prices, you should've seen what Patrick Stewart was charging last year! (Worth it)

    Last year, she was $45. Patrick is usually $80 for an auto at shows.

    Tentative list....

    hmm, the first batch of Power Rangers for $30-40 each? Lando Calrissian or Rose McGowen for $35-40 each?

    some celebrities need to price check compared to others

    Bret Hart and Kevin Nash are a bargain $20/$15 respectively for photo ops with your own camera

    Seems like such a rip. Compared to getting a custom sketch by a comic book artist even more so.

    Apparently these celebs don't want me to take their pictures or get their autograph. :)
    I appreciate that they have to make a living, but...um...yeah not worth it to me.

    Plus I'm guessing having the 2 original black rangers' autographs on something won't help the resale value nearly as much as it would cost me, haha.
    With that said, if I had ever liked Bret Hart that $95 to jump the line, get his autograph, a photo, etc. is a steal. Fortunately I got over wrestling awhile back.
    I'm still willing to pay for a decent athlete though. I bought my dad an arian foster signed minihelmet for $120 or something a couple Christmas' back.

    Nope, lots of people with pro style cameras around at these things. They might ask you not to take pictures in certain areas, typically certain celebs, but it's free reign for the most part.

    Cosplay alone makes these types of events worth going to.

    Wow!!!

    I remember when he came on UT Campus to do a QA session in 2005, got his autograph for free. I guess the Marvel's popularity really went up in the last few years. It's no longer cheap to be a geek :(
