Stuff like this is why if I were super famous I would only take pics with fans. Scarcity of autograph means I'd be able to sell my signature directly to a wealthy collector for millions.

I have a buddy who works in the celeb fan con and signing space. Last week he was in town to do a three day signing with an oscar winning actor who made $600K for about 15 hours work. I spent 4 hours with one of the biggest stars in MCU as he made $300K a couple years ago and as I understand it his take has double in recent years. It's crazy.

To think that when baseball card prices went white hot (I still have many of mine from when I was a kid) a Mantle Rookie card went for the then incredible price of $15,000.
The Clark auction numbers are beyond insane.

A Topps 1952 Mantle rookie just sold for $12.6 million, for carboard. No stick of powdered crappy chewing gum (which destroyed the value of some cards)
