Express Autograph Session: $30
Quantities are limited.
Two Express Guest Autograph Sessions are taking place, one on Friday evening and the other on Saturday morning of the event. This is a closed-door autograph session with all or most of the guests. Each guest’s personal autograph policies and prices remain in effect. We strive to have all convention guests at the Express Autograph session, and they usually are, but sometimes, due to schedules, some cannot make it. The session is a minimum of one hour. It has always provided ample time for attendees to obtain all desired autographs. Still, guests are not obligated to remain after that hour if time runs out.
