None of these prices would exist if people did not keep rolling up and paying them.

I spoke with my contact at Celebrity Authentics. Photo ops will be available for sale if you want to pose with the talent. However, you can lean over the table for a snapshot with the artist at NO CHARGE! Just sharing the info.....

Jewel

Thanks Jewel thats nice to hear.

Thanks for the update on Celebrity Authentics, Jewel!

Too bad the same can't be said for Coolwaters and Billy Dee Williams.
I sent a question/complaint and just got the following reply:

TO get a photo with Billy Dee you MUST pay FROGYS PHOTOS for that option. LINK HERE: http://ww.wizardworld.com/frphbrnewfet.htm

Uh, yeah, I'm not shelling out that kind of cash for Billy Dee. I would (over)pay the $49 if I could get a pic with him but with that business model, I told them I'll pass.

I believe that 100%, I know it applies to me. I'm not going to shell out for all the people I want at this show, so I'll just limit it to Star Wars. And then I'm also budgeting some money for dealers, I need a few odds and ends so I'll stop by your booth Ed. I remember meeting your son a few years back, he seems like a good guy.

Caesar, you're support is appreciated. If you're looking for anything special, drop me a line so I can make sure I have it with me.

You'll have to deal with my daughter this year (The Sales Princess ). My son and I had what was probably our last show in June. He heads to Air Force basic training next week. He's training to become a boom operator on a refueling tanker.

Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else at the show. Not much time left to get ready... I'd better get started.

I don't recall if this is the same outfit that did the pictures in Tulsa, but I hated what that company did. All the 8x10 photos had a big border graphic around them. The actual photo was 5x7 or less. Unbelievable that people were paying for that.

Ed

Well Wizard hasn't even announced that Peter Facinelli has cancelled. So they're still trying to get money for photo ops with him....LOL

Jewel

I have to say -- it looks like Wizard is pulling out the stops this year. . .

I'm excited to go to this show for the first time in a long time. . .

And I personally don't buy in person autographs so I'll have money for cards!

Jon

I'll be at this show with cards and an EXCLUsIVE oversized card for Legends and Lore of Big Foot. The Table number is 4302. Hope to see some of you there.

i am going next weekend, just couple of questions if you guys can help out.
1. is it confirmed that peter facinelli wont be there sunday?
2. does anyone know the price for an emma caulfield autograph?

thanks!

I would take it as "confirmed" that Peter Facinelli will not be there, as his name is no longer listed on the Wizard Guest List.

Surprisingly, an autograph from Emma Caufield is not a ticketed event. So it is unknown exactly how much she'll charge. This is solely my own guess, but I'd expect somewhere between $35 - $50. Of course, it could be less, but it seems like the price for autographs has gone up of the past year or so.

Plus Emma is there all three days. They've replaced Peter Facinelli with Alex Meraz of the Wolf pack from New Moon.

Jewel

I finally got my shipping notice for the Rhona & Michelle tickets/photos. Was getting a little worried there.

I've had my Rhona for over two weeks. Did they combine shipping for you? The did for Cameron Bright and Chris Heyerdayl for me.....

I only paid 1 shipping amount. It seemed a little high but I think that's because I ordered the Underworld poster for Rhona to sign. It should all be here on Tuesday so it was coming very close.

I met Emma at Wizard World Philly this year and she was charging $20 if you got her to sign one of her own photos and $10 if you brought your own item for her to sign, so not a bad deal at all.

Val

That's cool. Thanks for letting us know........


Jewel

Nathan Ohlendorf and Kurt Ruskin will be attending Wizard World Chicago and will be giving out free promo cards and doing sketches in Artist Alley.

Thanks, what's your email address? I just realized we don't have Private Messaging here, otherwise I would have contacted you that way. I'm not looking for much this year, but there are a few things so maybe you can help.

Email is in my profile, but I get enough spam posting it again here isn't a big deal...

I'm loading up today, so let me know on anything special.
