He has a reputation to keep. He never shows emotion in any of his interviews, although many times his words are dripping with wit and sarcasm. He knows what he's doing.

[–][deleted] 99 points100 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I once saw an interview where the interviewer said, "So, should I call you Marshall, Eminem, Slim Shady, what should I call you?"

His response: "Yoda, you can call me."

In the voice. Then he just shrugged like "what?"

I don't think he cares very much about hiding emotion to maintain a reputation.

It would reduce the size of the market willing to purchase it significantly, but it could also increase the value to people that share your name (assuming last names aren't included).

[–]TexanAtheist 34 points35 points ago

I suppose, however it wouldn't have the same sentimental value, assuming you actually like the artist.

He means to the person who buys it off of ebay, but that still wouldnt be untrue because a general one would be just as unsentimental

[–]kr6218 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think they are talking about the person who buys it from the person who originally got the autograph. The original recipient would certainly have a lot of sentimental value attached to the autograph, but the second owner wouldn't.

[–]mrimperfect 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That wouln't matter for two reasons. 1) If this is comonnly known, collectors will be expecting it. 2) Professional graphologists can tell if the name matches his handwriting, reardless of what he signs.

The notion of autographing provides provenance. That, and only that, is what increases the value of a signed object.

I was under the impression graphology has been dismissed as quackery along with phrenology. Then again I do have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter.

[–]unAdvice 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're only kind-of-not-wrong - there are two fields that study handwriting. Graphology is essentially worthless ("You write your lowercase g's with small loops, therefore you are prone to gephyrophobia and are a repressed kleptomaniac"). There is, however forensic analysis of handwriting, which makes use of large samples of text and compares idiosyncrasies to infer a probability of being written by the same person. I don't know if autographs could provide a large enough sample size, but if the person has a very characteristic way of writing they could have a guess at it.

[–]fknbastard 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can't say I care much. Were I to have the fame to have a valuable signature, I would assume some folks are gonna want to sell it. Shit. Why would I care? Besides, if it bothered you, just flood the market with signed everything and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I find that attitude really silly. When you sign something and give it back, it's the recipients business what to do with it. Maybe they stopped liking you later on. Maybe the association reminds them of a negative time in their life. Maybe they just desparately need money. Regardless of the circumstance, I think artists should be happy that they can create things with monetary value just by writing their name or names on them and then give those things out to the common people to deploy as they see fit.

If my autograph were worth something, I would probably want people to sell it.

[–]iwasayoungwarthog 56 points57 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The problem with someone getting something signed and then just selling it straight after, is they're just using you, as opposed to actually liking you and what you do.

The problem is...the agents, labels and everyone else connected to the artists career get mad because they won't also get to profit from the sale something of the autographed product. They want every last red penny.

Elijah Wood is always nice to fans and signs his autograph for everyone. I saw a video of him, and he's such a nice guy. These paparazzi are harassing the hell out of him, asking him weird questions, and everyone wants to pose with him and he just treats 'em all like old friends.

[–]bigcitycrows 11 points12 points ago

I have such positive feelings for that man. When he started doing voice characters for children's movies I at first thought "jeez, letting yourself go there, eh?" but then his performances turned out really great, were part of amazing movies (9? Legend of the Guardians?), and after a few interviews I came to the conclusion that he's doing what he enjoys and being a totally friendly, awesome human being in the process.

Plus he's got great dimples, so...there's that. That's, what, +10 humanity points right there?

[–]nutsey 4 points5 points ago

2 of my friends saw him in a restaurant (in a small city in Ireland) - nothing fancy, not fast food but not far from it. They said "we saw a guy who looked exactly like Elijah Wood". It was only a few days later when hearing that another friend had met him in the pub at the weekend did the penny finally drop that the dude that looked like Elijah Wood, was Elijah Wood. Dumbasses.

My mother is a sentimental LoTR fan and gets all wistful whenever the subject comes up (I was almost named Galadriel), so I wanted the signed picture of Sean Astin in his role of Sam to give to her as a momento of the movies, which she loves. At the same time, for years she's told us "when I die, don't keep my things just because they were mine." This was because she spent years in a near-hoarder position and finally conquered it by reminding herself that things are just things. In my mind, I shouldn't put a name on it because it was going to be passed on eventually- and yeah, probably via eBay, either because my mom didn't want it or because one or the other of us croaked. I thought in terms of practicality. Looking back, the smartest thing to do would have been to ask him to sign it to my mother's name, by I was very nervous and there was a big line behind me. I also was unaware of the faux-pas at the time (up until the stare moment) and figured, hey, less for him to have to write.

I did get to meet Noel Neil at the same convention, though (original Lois Lane.) My dad was named after Superman and is subsequently a big fan (also 6'4" with black hair and blue eyes- go figure!) There was no line at her booth, so I actually got to sit and talk with her a bit and bought a portrait of her as Lois Lane, which she autographed to my father. That one went much better.

Clark. My grandparents were culturally aware, not hooligans.

When I told him I got her autograph he kind of said "that's nice" and left, so I kept it in my room. Then like a year later I mentioned something about it and he went "you talked to LOIS LANE??" and skeptically requested to see the portrait. He thought it was the coolest thing in the world when he finally realized I was serious and saw that it had his name, it's on his dresser now.

As a Make a Wish kid, I got a signed poster from the cast of The Simpsons and this sentiment was casually dropped in the conversation when I met them. Forgot by whom, and it wasn't threatening or insinuating anything, but you could tell it was something that had probably occurred in the past.

Dunno exactly what their criteria is, but isn't immanent death. I had a very treatable cancer that was caught early so my long term prognosis was very optimistic, and I am indeed a very healthy person now.
But I still have 3 years of chemo under my belt; the first of which was hell

I must confess to having asked a couple of famous people to make out autographs to "Winning bidder". They didn't seem to find it as funny as I did.

George Alec Effinger, an author, had something to say about signed items.

See, he was in a writing group, which is just an excuse for writers ro get together and drink. One day they were discussing their books in book stores. Writers have a perverse feeling where they need to check if the book store carries their books. A common feeling is it is ok if their books are in used book stores because at least it means someone read it. But signed books are not great. And personalized signatures really suck.

One author said he had the worst story. He went into a used book store and found all of his books and every one was autographed for his ex-wife.

George Alec Effinger said he could beat that. His mother passed away and he had to go to the house to clean it and go through her belongings. And in the attic, pushed into a corner was a trunk. Inside the trunks was every package he had sent her, none of them open, containing the various books and stories he got published and signed for her.

So, the moral of the story, wait until the artist is dead before selling any of their autographs.

I wouldn't care. If they make a few bucks off of my scribble, more power to them. Autographs are stupid anyway.

[–]Geekx 4 points5 points ago

I totally get it - I mean imagine you are hounded by people wanting autographs everywhere you go and there's no telling which ones are people who are using your time to make money for themselves and which are actual fans that you might want to spend some time with. This cuts out the people trying to make you work for free rather nicely and famous or not I would object to working for free.

Maybe it's universal. But I think most wouldn't throw you in their bath tub and chop you into tiny little pieces with a chainsaw and then sing a song about it.

That honor stays with Eminem.

I love stories about how Picasso would pay a tab at a restaurant with a drawing on a napkin. If I were famous, I'd have no problem with that. I'm just making money out of nothing, for people I don't even know!

You're going to be under my bed? What? That seems vaguely homosexual and very comedic. I can picture Eminem hiding under my bed with his "posse", saying things like, "When he gets in here, we're gonna get his ass."

Reminds of that line from Pulp Fiction: "If he goes to Indochina, I want a nigger waiting in a bowl of rice."

Dont worry Sopa will end that. You dont actually own that signature, you only have limited use of it as it belongs solely to the artist.
