Default Broadway

Hey guys, I'm an autograph collector...sounds like I'm stating the obvious but
thanks to eBay more and more stars at the theater treat you like you're in it
for the business and not as a hobby. More and more are *refusing* to sign
photos. It's getting very discouraging. They'll sign playbills, but I'd
rather have something I can display more easily...something with their picture
of course. I had some nice pictures of Antonio Banderas and Jane Krakowski
when I saw them the other day and they both refused to sign them. I have to
say they were both at least very polite about it and did sign my playbill...but
the signatures are on an inside page with no picture. ( They weren't even
high quality prints...I made them on my home computer. Am I doing something
wrong? I'm sure if I told them I'm not gonna sell it they wouldn't believe me
anyway. I'm not pressuring them or being obnoxious or anything... Any
thoughts would be appreciated. Do you think they're any more likely to sign
photos if I mailed them to the theater? I'm at a point where I'm thinking of
giving up on Broadway.
Thanks,
Patrick

seriously...just tell them that even thought autographs are sold on
ebay...their autographs don't sell for much. and just start talking to them
about their movies. ebay is a bad subject, but easy to remove from the equation
with some tact. which i have none of. but i always tell people their autograph
doesn'tsell on ebay or that everything on ebay is a fake and that usually
works.
