The tumbling is everywhere

We must, as loyal Tumblrs, spread it to the far reaches of the universe. It is a brother/sisterhood.

WHEN IN DOUBT, LOKI.

Depends on the con. I go to a lot of horror conventions and the majority of those actors (even names like Eric Roberts) charged $20. The high end ones (like Romero or Roddy Piper) charged $30.

You must have hit the right shows. Before I lost my affinity for autograph collecting, I used to do a lot of CSA shows (a mix of celebs and sports stars) and $50 was about the best price a person could expect. On the other end of the spectrum were guys like Jim Brown, who charged $300....yes $300.

Well, it's been 2 years since I was there (it's a horror con in the Philadelphia area), but I doubt the prices are up that much. The most "outrageous" thing to me was that Roddy Piper charged extra for a photo with him. No one else at the these cons (including Robert "Freddy" Englund, George Romero, or Malcolm McDowell) did that. He seemed nice himself, though.
Yeah, iirc $30 is the most I've ever spent on a single autograph and I probably have more than 50. The cheapest (besides a couple guys who said "no charge" for just signing my DVD covers) was $10 (all within the last 6 years or so). The average was probably $20 (including guys like Tony "Candyman" Todd and Doug "Pinhead" Bradley).
If I were at a con where $50 was the cheap autograph, I'd get very picky suddenly (only my favorite movies).
Maybe horror cons are cheaper. G-Fest is even better. There, you buy a $5 ticket to get all of the guests (usually 3 or 4) to sign up to 3 items each. That's because (obviously) it's an arrangement between the con and the guest stars (I was at a Trek con that did a similar thing).

.........Im guess U guys havent been to a con where Nimoy, West or Shatner were in attendence, cuz *none* of their autographs come in under -$50 (West might be the cheapest of the 3 tho.)

That is correct, sir. Brent Spiner was supposed to be at that ST con I mentioned and backed out at the last minute for filming. If he had been there, his autograph would've been covered with the admission ticket.

That said, Nimoy and Shatner are two I would be willing to spend the extra money on since I consider myself an Old School Trekkie. At least I have autographs for Koening, Takei, and Doohan. I'd probably be willing to spare a fair amount to get West to sign my Batman movie DVD if he'd write "some days..."
