They’re legit. I’ve ordered at least a dozen times from them.

I’ve been waiting for a Halle Berry signing for so long. I’ve owned this Inkworks unsigned Catwoman card for 15+ years and now it’ll finally be signed. Can’t wait!

[cardbooker]

I also have a Hugh Jackman CGC comic preorder that I can add Halle Berry to, but need to think about it a bit more. This order been outstanding since Oct 2022, and just not sure I have the patience to wait another year. But on the other hand, a dual signed book would be awesome. Hmm

I'm going to pass. The only way I would pay those prices is if I get to meet her at a convention.

I think it’s a fair price. It’s in line with other A-list superhero signers such as Evans, Hemsworth, Hiddleston, etc. And it’s half the price of Natalie Portman (wish I could add her to my Thor book but I can’t justify the price)

It is a fair price. But, the only way I would pay it is at a convention where I could meet her.

If I go to a celebrity event that JSA is also attending do I need to fill out paperwork to get items authenticated or can you just hand them the items and they take care of it?

I almost jumped for joy when I saw Mark Hamill's picture on the front page of Official Pix, but unfortunately he is not signing send-in items or photographs - they just had him sign some Mandalorian comic book covers, CGC graded them and encapsulated them as signature series (yellow tops) - and they're $759.99. Not even sure if they are all guaranteed a 9.8 on the grading or not.

Not a piece I want to add to my collection - hard to display and very expensive.

I'll keep checking weekly for his next picture signing! Hopefully sooner than later!

They did have quite a few 8X10 and 11X14 photos for sale the day after the comic books went up for sale last week. It was a pretty good selection if you were quick. Most of the photos were gone in under 5 minutes but the last 2 (both 11X14) lasted for about an hour.

Gah, rub it in why don't you!!!

Josh Brolin just cancelled for C2E2...a day before the convention starts. He is sick/ill apparently.

Had the chance but didn't pull the trigger on 10x20 panoramic Mark Hamill signed pictures on Official Pix (I think one was him in a snowspeeder, interior shot looking to exterior, another was him training on Dagobah I believe) - but they wanted $650 for them.

They must trickle them out in waves to keep up demand. Question for those in the know - is that just Official Pix overcharging us? Does anyone know if Hamill still does in-person signings, and if so, what his price is? Or what they charge for the send-ins on Hamill?

Thanks!

He did a OPX private signing and a public show in San Francisco back in November. Price was $500 for 8X10 or trading card through the send-in. The prices we are currently seeing are pretty much in line with what we saw in November after factoring in the Photo/Comic/Lightasber price and Authentication. These are being released in batches and are selling out quickly with the exception of the Mando comic, but there were a lot of those offered. The 10X20 Metallics from yesterday were very nice.

Beautiful with the green on green!

Ok, so if $500 is the price, there isn't that much of a markup.

I know with other signers, they'd add a hundred or so. I had pre-ordered a MacGregor as Obi-Wan for $169.99 with my choice of 8x10 that they provided, and all said and done after shipping, etc. it was about $200-$220.

Then they were listing extra MacGregor 8x10 autos they must have had him sign for the company at the time for about $299 on their site, so that's about in line with what they are doing with the Hamill autographs - an extra $100 on the top.

Thank you for posting that. Not so much for Hamill but, I figured I'd look around their other signings. They've got Finn Wolfhard on there at FanExpo. He signed at one other small show a couple years ago, and that's been it for a long time. Been waiting for an appearance from him for a while.

You're welcome, I only know of the site because of a thread on these forums.

You can get some great autos - I usually choose to use one of the 8x10s that Official Pix provides, and I love that you can pick the ink color. I don't add character names or personalization, so I recently got three great 8x10s - Gina Carano as Cara Dune picture from the Mando in purple paint pen, Ewan MacGregor picture from Obi-Wan Series in blue paint pen, and Hayden C. picture from AOTS where he hasn't quite turned yet but is getting close in red paint pen.

In total with return shipping, it was around $600 for all three.

Only thing is, while some top names (let's excuse Hamill from the conversation, as we discussed above his price is $500 or so) like MacGregor and Christensen were about $150 per auto, there are some fringe characters that they charge $100 for as well.

There was an 8x10 from Ahsoka with Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine all with lightsabers drawn getting ready to fight. They wanted $150ish for Dawson which makes sense, but the actors who played Ezra and Sabine they wanted about $100 apiece for their autos, which I couldn't justify.

Would have been neat though to have that 8x10 signed in paint pen by their lightsaber color, respectively (white, blue & green) - but the piece wasn't worth close to $600 for me, so I just purchased a Dawson in orange paint pen to match her skin tone.

Anyway, enough rambling, point being, with some of the actors, the price point between the "stars" and non-"stars" is usually not that different, which leads me to passing on autographs I think would look neat on my walls (though I'm running out of room in the man cave as it is)!

Ben Stiller is doing his first signing, and his prices seemed really fair. He was one I've wanted for a while, so this was a no brainer for me.

Chris Pine, Iman Vellani, Tatiana Maslany, Jaimie Alexander, and Jake Gyllenhaal announced for SuperHero Con.
Twin Cities Comics and Everest Autographs handling the send in/pre-orders for those who can't attend.

They don’t seem to have the best reputation especially with customer service, but Official Pix is partnering with them on this signing. You can order on OP’s website. It’s $5 more but you know there won’t be any concerns and no customer service issues.

Thanks. I definitely trust Official Pix. Kind of tempted to order a Zoolander or Dodgeball signed 11x17 now.
