Those are awesome. I particularly love that they aren't just signed, but personalised with your name. Awesome collection.

Hard to pick a best, most every celebrity I've met has been really cool. I try to start a conversation with them by talking about specific things from their careers rather than just the generic "love you, love your work". I get pretty good responses doing that. I had nice conversations with John Wesley Shipp, Manu Bennett, Will Friedle, Michael Biehn, David Prowse and Dean Cain. If I had to pick a best I'd have to go with Doug Jones. He was very gracious and sincerely thanked everyone that stopped at his table, and got up to give everyone a hug before leaving whether they were getting an autograph, photo or just stopping to say hi. Really great guy.

Can't say I've had a worst. If I had to pick I'd say Thomas Jane. He wasn't rude, but he really wasn't engaging the fans in conversation and hardly smiled for photo ops. Maye he was just having a bad day.

I have to say, though, I see more and more celebrities with stacks of Pops at their tables along with the usual 8x10 glossies. Everyone recognizes the power of the Pop! Doug Jones was very proud of the fact that he has three different characters in Pop form and had a stack of the Gentlemen at his table. I also inadvertently introduced a couple of stars to Pop! Jamie Kennedy and the people with him at his table had never seen the Ghostface and asked me where they could get one. Red Brown, who played Captain America in the 70's, thought the Cap Pop was one of the best things he'd ever seen, he really loved it.

That is awesome that you had a great experience with Doug Jones. He's from Indiana and we both went to Ball State!

That's a beautiful collection, well done!! I've always wondered because I've never done it, but about how long are the lines typically? I have no idea if you have to wait 10 minutes or hours. Also what do they typically charge for an autograph at cons? Does it depend on the star or is there a "typical" cost? Thanks!

Generally, the bigger the con, the longer the line. Sometimes I walk right up with no one in front of me, sometimes it's a 45-60 minute wait. It also depends on the popularity of the celeb, of course, usually a good wait for "headliners". I also find that Saturdays are the busiest day for weekend cons. As far as cost, the bigger the star, the more they charge. I've paid between $20 and $80 for an autograph (Shatner and Adam West were on the high end), but the average is $30-$40 for most.

Thank you very much, that's helpful information :-) I go to cons now and then but have never gone for an autograph, but your collection has inspired me to give it a try :-)
