Last year there was a Star Trek exhibit on the Intrepid. It
combined the
original with the Next Generation. I was told that most of the actors
were nice, regular guys. William Shattner was charging for his
autograph. I leave the name for that, up to the readers.

most of them do that. they know the fans will pay, so why not.

Not when they are being paid for the appearance. And the fans are
making
a generous donation to a charity.
BTW I used to represent entertainers. Most thought it beneath them to
charge for an autograph. They either declined, or gave one free. I
don't
know the source for your statement, but I KNOW it's not true.

I went to ST convention and most of the stars you had to pay for
their autographs and pay for the part where they stand on stage and
answer questions.
Depending on who they were the cost was set, some were free but most
cost money, I only went to the free ones.
But this wasn't a charity event.

I specifically was talking about charitable fund raisers.

I prefer autographs on personal checks. Don't really care much about who
signs on as long as the bank honor them... :-ppp

Those were the only autographs I ever requested, or received. I gave
them to my bank, to be returned them to their originators.


The only collectable autographs I have, my father got in 1944 one a US one
dollar Silver Certificate bank note. The most prominent of these was
Charles A. Lindbergh who toured the South-West Pacific during WWII, and
flew missions with a number of P-38 fighter squadrons. He taught these
fighter pilots how to extend the range of the P-38 which resulted in some
of the longest escort flights in the Pacific Theater. Lindbergh flew as my
father’s wingman on two such missions.

The other rare autograph on that bank note is that of Tommy McGuire the
second top scoring USAAF ace of the war. He was killed in the Philippines
in 1945. He now has McGuire Air Force Base named for him.

IIRC The silver certificate itself may be a collectible.
