If it's someone I like, and paying is the only way I can get his/her autograph, then I'll pay if I can afford it. Older actors, in particular, don't have much by way of income anymore, so I don't begrudge them asking for $10-$20. If I go to a convention (and I usually barely make 2 a year), I know I'm going to be spending anywhere from $20-$40 and sometimes more (Leonard Nimoy is charging $65 for his upcoming appearance at Phoenix Comicon)...that's the nature of the beast.

Looking at my 2011 successes so far, I paid for 8 of them, and was happy to do so.

About the charges and differences in paying for an autograph and getting your own...

When I send a 8x10 I spend $3.00 total in postage, Maybe $2.00 in Shipping Material, & about $2.00 to make my own photos. I only send 8x10's out to those who are very good signers. That's $7 Worst Case, 5x7 I spend about half of that.

When Russell Johnson is charging $25 a pop plus shipping... Seems like a big difference in price to me. For a price like that I would expect Giligan or the Skipper.

I heard they charged for photo ops at that show. Hal Linden charged 30 an autograph and 10 dollars per photo op. That's crazy! Hal Linden's autograph isn't even worth that much.

It was Hal's first autograph show ever! He's probably not familiar with what people are willing to pay. When I bought both an autographed photo and a photo op with him, I don't remember him charging for the full $40. I believe he offered a deal. He was a nice guy and looked great.

If you order from Russell's website, the $25 includes free S&H.
