I can't believe people pay for a signature. Is this an American thing only? Even at cons here Autographs are free. Sometimes they will ask to bring a certain material (like a book published by the company who is paying for the author) but the autograph itself is free.

Depends on the celebrity/ con. I have a lot of autographs and have never paid for any of the ones I've gotten in person. Some celebs charge for signings and donate the proceeds to charity. Some celebs pocket the signing fee.

In my experience, usually the people who pocket the fee are either very hard up for cash or such big names that if they didn't charge, they'd do nothing but sign autographs.

Where do you live? It's paying here now, too (though it didn't used to be afaik).

Getting a book signed by the author is generally free.

Getting a thing signed by an actor at a ComicCon costs.

What's even more ridiculous is that this usually, primarily happens at the large, corporate-sponsored comic cons (e.g. any Wizard World convention, there's like 50 of them per year) where the actors have already been paid a high fee to appear and you've already paid double what a fan-run con would charge you to get in.

But then, the corporate cons are the only ones that can afford William Shatner in the first place so eh.
