How much do autographs cost?
Autograph prices are set by individual guests and vary from year to year. When we are provided with autograph pricing in advance, we will include it with the guest information on the Celebrity Guests page. METROCON does not provide a guaranteed complimentary autograph for all guests. Most, if not all guests, will charge for autographs and other interactions. The common pricing for our industry guests ranges from $20-40 each but may be higher for exceptional or large-draw celebrity guests.
Can I get anything besides an autograph?

Many guests will offer to do photos (selfies) with fans, voice recordings, or other small interactions, sometimes for an additional fee. These are at the discretion of the individual guest and their comfort level/availability/pricing.

Can I bring my own figure/poster/DVD to be autographed?

Yes, absolutely! Many guests will have headshots, photos, or other items available to be included with the purchase of an autograph on that item. In an effort to avoid scalping and resale of autographed items, many guests may require that your autograph be personalized with a name or message like “To ___, thanks for being a fan! (Signature)” to ensure that the autograph is directly for the fan they’re interacting with or someone to receive as a gift. METROCON does not allow or condone the autographing of bulk items (especially Pop! figures in recent years) for resale, and both METROCON and the special guest reserve the right to limit the number of items you may have autographed, or refuse to autograph items without personalization.

Do autographs have to be personalized? Can I get lots of them?
Many guests may require that your autograph be personalized with a name or message like “To ___, thanks for being a fan! (Signature)” to ensure that the autograph is directly for the fan they’re interacting with or someone to receive as a gift. METROCON does not allow or condone the autographing of bulk items (especially Pop! figures in recent years) for resale, and both METROCON and the special guest reserve the right to limit the number of items you may have autographed, or refuse to autograph items without personalization.
Can I bring a gift for the guest I want to meet during our signing?

METROCON discourages gifts of any kind for safety reasons, as all gift packages must be thoroughly inspected, however, this is generally up to the individual guest as to what they will or will not accept from fans. We do specifically disallow food or drink gifts of any kind, homemade or storebought, and these will be confiscated or thrown away prior to meeting the guest.
