These suckers paid $445
(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/10/14/1014-sylvester-stallone-new-york-comic-con-launch-3.jpg)
Sly was one of the attractions at NYC Comic Con this weekend ... where the going rate for a snapshot with the Italian Stallion ran $445, and autographs were $395.
But the price didn't scare off legions of Stallone-aholics, who willingly shelled out the cash for a moment with their hero.
Stallone wasn't the only celeb charging for pics ... a photo with Stan Lee ran $400 bucks ... and people dropped $200 for a shot with Sigourney Weaver.
This guy was much cheaper:

as long as lou gets his damn 20

i honestly wouldn't give a fuck about a pic with anyone in the world even it was for free and i didn't have to wait in a line
what the hell is wrong with people ???

I'm as much of a fan of Sly as anyone else, but I wouldn't pay a penny to take a picture with any actor or celebrity whatsoever.
Honestly, I consider that (charging fans to take a picture) to be a scumbag move. The fans are the same people that pay the bills for these actors. They are the ones filling the seats when their latest movies come out, purchasing DVD's, memorabilia and joining their ridiculous fan sites to further keep their "heroes" alive. Without these fans, Hollywood actors would just be like any other insecure "faker" looking to make it big. Celebrities are kept alive by the fans that idolize them and pay to see their material/product. To charge these fans such a ridiculous price to simply pose next to you is like biting the hand that feeds you.
Honestly, guys like Sly, Lou and whomever charges fans money to take a simply picture should be ashamed of themselves.
One thing is to sell actual merchandise that can have some form of inherent value (a DVD, CD, clothing, object from one of their movies etc.), but another thing is to charge people simply to stand next to you for a picture.
How greedy or pathetic must one be?

I agree with your very first sentence, friend. Personally, I would never spend a cent, either. I also see your point in the rest of the post; it is a scumbag move to charge fans for a pic/autograph. On the other hand, if people are willing to pay it, who's more at fault?
Is the celebrity a prick for charging it, or is the fan an idiot for paying it?
When I worked as a magician years ago, some newer performers would ask me what they should charge for a show. I would always tell them, "You charge what you're worth." And, whatever somebody is willing to pay you...THAT'S what you're worth.

Those look like he was photoshoped in. Anyways. Won't pay shit. I have about 10 photos with him from Vegas about 10 years ago at a boxing match.
-
Photos don't look real. I can't see Sly even attending this crappy event.
-
A lot of fans of sports teams, actors, celebs etc are pathetic.

Sly and the promoter stood to make about $185,000 for that little bit of work if they hit their estimated numbers. Here were some of the others that were there to sign and snap -

I find it hard to believe he went to this thing.

As you get old, money is all that matters. He has to think about his offspring.

He has to have just made a shitload from those Expendables movies though, plus recent Rocky and Rambo movies.
Why does he also need to go to "Comic Con" and collect $400 from a few queens?
-
Anyone willing to pay a goddamn dime is a tool
Fucking Carl weathers came into my old mans store to buy tractor parts, dad told him what a huge fan of Predator I was, and he brought me in a huge framed and signed picture of him for nothing.
rocky needs to take a page from apollo.

If people are dumb enough to pay, why not do it. Haha, 450 fucking dollars a picture.

Zero
As many have said, to pay another for the "privilege" of posing with you for a photograph is beyond lame. Total beta move.
I used to watch the throngs of men following behind Arnold at the Classic Expo and think, What a bunch of twinks.
These celebs should be eagerly shaking our hands and thanking us for making them ultra-wealthy. Oh, you want a pic? Absolutely!

as I said, fucking apollo creed went so far as to bring a huge frames autographed picture in for some no name son of a guy he was buying parts from, all because I was a fan of Predator.
Now thats being appreciative.

I wouldn't pay a dime to take a picture with anybody... movie star, athlete, anybody....
unless he's gonna wear my tshirt and advertise my business, that is...

stallone should be proud to be in pic with arce..

No jokes about the nzmm/jaimie lookalike with the belt?
-
I got some change in my pocket.

I'd bet that's the point with both Sly and Lou. I understand Sly has not made great investments, and before "Rocky Balboa" he was making direct-to-DVD crap movies. And except for lucking into his Hulk role, Lou clicked at nothing.
So maybe these guys need the cash. Everyone has contempt for the practice, so why would you do it if you don't need to?

I don't think sly needs the cash worth something in the 100 mil maybe more maybe less but def set for life
More like trying to stay relevant since his time has come and gone and he can't accept that, it's brutal on his fragile ego, hence the shoe lifts, tattoos, hair transplants, dressing like a tool...
-
Wouldn't pay anything for any celebrity
They already make alot of money on their movies and whatnot
Celebrities and such does not mean anything to me these days, maybe when i was 18-20 it would have some meaning to take a picture with Arnold, Sly, Van Damme etc
I wouldn't say no though if Lou wanted to take a picture with me, but he'd have to shell out 20 $ first
-
I'll pay for anyone who wants to be photograph with Vince ;D
-
What i can't understand is that people are paying so much to be in a photo with Sly etc
I could understand people paying to have a shot with Sly during his prime career, but now? And such high amount?
Good for Slys ego to visit Comic Con i guess, "Hey, i'm still as popular as ever"
-
I find it hard to believe he went to this thing.
He was there to promote his new film with Arnold. They were both there.
-
Stallone? Zero. I love the movie Rocky but I don't love it that much.
However, there are some people I would pay to meet. Muhammad Ali being one of them.
-
Amanda Latona on the other hand
-

^^This.
He probably doesn't "need" this money, but his ego needs the exposure, and to know there are regular people willing to pay almost $500 for a picture with him.

That's brilliant. I also like that he drives a tractor. And that he doesn't just buy a new one if it breaks. He goes and buys parts to fix it. I love it.

id pay anything to spend some time with her ;)
-
Holy shit, Booger from Revenge of the nerd was there.
Love that guy
-
And I just saw a news piece on Bon Jovi showing up at a fans wedding in Vegas to walk her down the aisle..... Didn't charge a dime. Cool dude
-
A LATONA WOW...TOTAL PACKAGE..
-
Nothing.
I have pics with lots of celebs. Never paid a dime, but part of the trick is not going to places where you are expected to pay for that sig.
You have to be working with them somehow, someplace. Or maybe you a working for them: Digital Arts, Advertising, etc... but then you tend to kind of not really care.
Unless some of you are uhhhh... shmoeing?

MY SIS in law great girl worked for a hip hop urbam mag as layout editor or some really cool gig,she works for hbo now talented girl ,she flew on private jet yrs ago to paris with jay z..
-
I've got no problem whatsoever for Incredible Hulk fans to pay $20 for a picture with Ferrigno. That's how this guy makes money. He's not getting parts in any HBO movies...
Stallone, on the other hand, should be ashamed of himself.
He continously sells everything and anything that isn't nailed down.
Then he tells us that HGH and steroids are "protein supplements" when he sells his protein pudding, or whatever the fuck it is.

Paying another man to have your photograph taken with him is an ultimate beta move.
