    That was before the Fantastic Four reboot and Clooney Batman.

    Just checking the charts comic books have 5 of the top 9 biggest box offices this year. The quality level is expected to be a lot higher than back when we thought it was cool that Swamp Thing got its own movie. 

     

    Sorry maybe I'm not an elitists when it comes to comic book movies, but I had ZERO issues with B vs S

    Should Artists/Creators upcharge to sign certain issues if witnessed?

    Tony Moore would not be charging that if no one was biting. Clearly there is a demand or he hates his work on TWD and doesn't want to sign any of it so he puts a crazy high price on it but the former is more likely imo. 

    Or maybe he's trying to pocket some of your profit from that Walking Dead 1 CGC SS 9.8 that you'll potentially flip on e-bay??

    What does creators being paid to be at con have to do with it? People want something from them that is unique to them. I am sure there are times they give it away for free. I bet If I bumped into someone outside a con and asked them to sign a napkin or whatever they would. I don't understand what the appeal is to having someone's signature  on a witnessed slab. If you are there and you witness it why do you need another person to "verify" it? Just so a company will put a yellow label on it? 

    exactly

    I find myself at odds with this.  Some creators, like Layton, charge $5 for books that are going to be graded.  However, he doesn't charge for raw signatures.  What I do find aggravating is when creators charge $50 for their signatures, regardless of what its being signed for (We know who I'm talking about here).  Another thing that bothers me is when creators charger higher fees for "key" books, or "popular character" series.   There has to be a common ground, and I get it that some creators feel like they're being slated because of the graded resale market.  However, that being said, most of these creators are being paid for their attendances at conventions.  

    What will happen eventually is that no one is going to pony up and pay higher premiums for signatures, thus creators either being forced not to charger, nor not attend conventions.  

    Who knows what is right, and what is wrong.

    Can ANYONE HELP?

    Bingo! That references the self published mini comic, which is what is pictured above.

    Thanks!   I wasn't sure what I had.   I did contact him via facebook, but haven't had a response yet.

     

    Is it okay to ask a celebrity for a discount on signatures?

    Blanket statements :cloud9:

    I don't know who this collective "WE" is, but there's certainly a time and a place for this.  Most of the time, you're right.  If you want a signature on an item, you pay the rate listed at the table.  However, I've seen a celebrity's signing price negotiated successfully to the benefit of all parties on a number of occasions.  Tact and situational awareness are key. 

    Let me rephrase,

    At an open line during a celebrity signing..... :)
