re: Would you pay $400 for a photo and autograph from Mark Hamill?

$200 potential profit on an item is massive profit?


If that were the case, why would Mark not just crank out autographed items and sell them on eBay himself instead of traveling around to Cons? Seems like it would be much easier if there is that high of a demand on eBay.

God no, used to think he was cool growing up, Luke Skywalker, rabble , rabble, rabble.

Well it turned out he was a talentless jerk off.

I wouldn't walk across the street for one if he was giving them out for free.

Hamill is the luckiest bad actor ever.

The guy is a massive tool, but he is one of the greatest voice actors of all time.

Him and Kevin Conroy were a hall of fame level team.

Scruffy wouldn’t pay $400 for a signed photo though.

That is ridiculous.

Fans Debate Mark Hamill's $400-$700 Comic-Con Autograph Prices

The sign lists $400 for an 8x10 photo, $500 for premium items, and $700 for bulky ones, drawing quips like 'putting the con in comic-con' from critics who call it extortion from the Star Wars star. Defenders note eBay resales hit $200-$600 and that cons are work for actors like Hamill, with agents setting fair market prices amid the thrill of meeting Luke Skywalker. This echoes backlash from last summer's Fan Expo, where the same rates upset fans, even as Hamill's net worth tops $18 million from his long career.

Fans aren't complaining too much seeing as almost every online site offering services or the signing has sold out.

From a collectors standpoint, it's a much smarter investment spending a little over 1k and buying a Topps pack inserted autograph. 8x10, sports stars included, carry a pretty low resale value compared to cards, baseballs, etc.

I’ve always thought autographs were sort of stupid. Even as a kid.

I was into baseball cards and my dad took us to the Senior Bowl meet the players thing 3 or 4 years in a row when we were kids (shoutout Peerless Price. Such a scumbag), so I was into it for a little while.

But yeah, once I got to my teen years, I was like wait, why is this cool. Can't imagine a grown man giving a shite enough to stand in line, fight a crowd, and even pay for an autograph. Seems insane now.

The only autograph I would ask for or pay for, and it’s stupid, is pat swilling.

I have all of the other dome patrol signed cards and a blank swilling. Once I get it signed, I want to frame them into one piece and stick it in my office.

I feel dumb asking for a dude’s signature unless it’s on a check, but this is a piece of my childhood, and I’d like to have it in my office.

On certain star was items i have, yes. My prize possession is my vader helmet with all three vaders auto's on it. Some things are worth it but not everything

Does “Bulky” mean he’ll allow you to get a chubby and pretend to sword fight?
