Flips on Autograph Hounds
Chris Pratt put a “fan” in his place for throwing a hissy fit over missing out on an autograph after Chris took time to sign a whole bunch of ’em.The autograph seekers were swarming at LAX when Chris — one of the nicest guys we see around town — walked to his waiting SUV. You’ll see in the video … he kindly stopped to sign photos, but as he got inside the vehicle things got ugly.
A moment or two with Stan Lee in the great autograph machine
While that might not be surprising to some (hey, he did kinda invent Marvel Comics along with some help from artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko), the Fan Expo did also feature heavyweights Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) as well as Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward), three cast members from The Walking Dead, King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and just about every voice actress who ever worked on Sailor Moon.

May I Have Your Autograph: Celebrity Culture & Consumer Protection
As someone who needed an explanation for the word “Brangelina” this week, I’m not sure I’m the most qualified to comment on a new law meant to protect against fake celebrity autographs. While we live in a society that seems overexposed to celebrity culture, we also live in a state in which entertainment and celebrity is big business. The legislature did the right thing to stop dealers from selling forged celebrity autographs because the law is more about protecting consumers than a special sop to celebrities.
Autographed LeBron James rookie card expected to sell for $200K in auction
Kids don’t put them in their bicycle spokes anymore but believe it or not, there is a still a market for sports trading cards. Some cards even still gain value over time, which happens to be the case with a very rare LeBron James rookie card.The card is from the 2003-04 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection and includes an authentic patch from one of James’ game-worn jerseys from that season as well as his actual autograph. One collector has kept the card since 2003 and is now putting it up for auction, where it is expected to sell for a whopping $200,000.
The price of fame at Edmonton Expo
There is one huge unwritten rule at the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo happening this weekend – bring money.Oh, sure, you could just stand around and gawk at all the cool nerds in their awesome costumes, but what fun is that? A lot of fun, actually … never mind.Fans spend college-tuition sums of money at these comic-cons – on gaming, cosplay supplies, at unending booths of merch, and on the big scores: Autographs from the stars. Spelled out on the Expo website are prices (and schedules) for having your photo taken with various guests – but autographs are extra, usually pretty close to what it costs for the photo, say organizers, with the prices set by each visiting celebrity. Could be less. Could be more. Comics guru Stan Lee charged $100 for an autograph last year.

That was the nicest “tell off” I’ve ever heard.
It’s really hard to make a sweet guy like Chris Pratt jaded, but leave it to those obnoxious dickheads.
