    It was either Marty Krofft (the Krofft Bros.) or the guy who played Lurch in the Addams Family movies, I can't remember which, about 4-5 years ago. Marty Krofft looked confused by us youngsters. Lurch looked confused by us short people.

    I've never been much for autographs, more interested in just meeting / talking and maybe a photo, but it'll probably be a quite some time before I see any more celebrities.
    le' sigh.

    Wasn't that Felix Silla? I know he was Cousin Itt from the Addams Family. That dude has been in everything from The Monkees TV show to Planet of the Apes to Return of the Jedi. I'm not much of an autograph guy, so I never got an autograph from him, but I talked to him a couple of times at a couple of conventions. He was pleasant enough to me, but he didn't really seem all that into being there either time. In all fairness, I think he has some health issues. I'm pretty sure he's in his 70s now and I know that little people tend to have more health problems in general.

    I don't think I've ever paid for an autograph. Usually the only time I ask for an autograph is when it's from someone who's not really famous...like if I'm buying a no-budget movie at a convention from one of the actors in the movie or a local band CD from one of the band members.

    The last autograph I got was from Debi Derryberry who's the voice of Jimmy Neutron and Draculaura from Monster High. She had a booth across from me at a convention in February and we hung out a bit over the weekend. She gave me an autographed photo of herself as kind of a joke because she was ribbing me about being a Monster High fan. She signed it “From your ghoulfrined.” She is really sweet and amazingly good with kids.

    The only autograph that I ever geeked out over was from P.J. Soles. It’s a long story, but the short version is this: I’m a huge Ramones fan and P.J. played Riff Randall in one of my favorite movies - Rock & Roll High School (which also stared The Ramones). She and I ended up hanging out one day and before I left, she said she wanted to give me a photo of her with The Ramones since I was such a big fan of theirs. She wrote a really nice note on there and signed it. She was just so nice to me. I was a total geek about it for the rest of the day.

    Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall, he was friendly to me but seemed somewhat distracted.

    Paying for Montana's autograph was worth every penny. The big Notre Dame vs. USC game was coming up and the Irish had to travel to the Coliseum that year (2010). They needed all the magic they could get.



    With the signed mini-helmet next to the TV, I enjoyed seeing The Irish bringing down the walls of Troy and pulling the upset: 20-16
    Thanks Joe.

    You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.

    I got Spidey's when I was about 6, too. At 6, my parents gave me an autograph book and I got signatures from characters at Disney World. During the same vacation, after breakfast I got an autograph from a guy running a skid steer. My parents must have felt a little awkward, but I recall the worker being surprised but very friendly.

    Paying for an autograph isn't my thing. I'm not very into the idea of celebrity.

    I hung out with the drummer from the Roots at an outdoor festival, but I didn't know who he was. He signed my ticket stub when I learned he was in one of the acts that I went to see.

    At a convention in Chicago, I waited in line for Stan Lee to sign a copy of Daredevil #1. I also had Chris Claremont sign a Captain Britain page. Those are the only two times I waited in line that I recall (both signatures were free). I bought a piece of art from Martin Nodell and chatted with him. He was kind of enough to autograph it to me personally. I have some other original art and sketches with the signature of the artist, but I didn't meet them to seek an autograph.
    My Want List:
    Repro WGSH Alter Ego Peter Parker, Dick Grayson & Clark Kent
    WGSH Invisible Girl, Isis, Wondergirl & Aqualad (loose)
    1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
    Comic book original art
    Marvel Universe 3 3/4" figures (loose)

    Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

    Here's how I look at paying for an autograph ....

    If the celeb is an oldtimer and dont work anymore and probably needs to sell his autograph I have no problem with it.

    If the celeb is a current personality OR still works (aka Adam West) I think these people should be signing for free for their own publicity.

    Back in the day HUGE megacelebs like Cary Grant and Joan Crawford woould never even dream of SELLING their autographs ... They would say that would be disgraceful


    Its within the last 20-ish years when the whole publicity thing became perverted.

    Dina Meyer from Starship Troopers and Birds of Prey. Real sweetheart, extremely nice and polite, and gorgeous!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
