At a convention here in Dallas with my cousin who is excited to meet and get the autograph of two anime voice actors. We got in 15 minutes after doors opened and have been in line for one person since. 2:38 and we barely moved 6ft in the line with the biggest issue being resellers. Some people got 3 or 4 things for the dude to sign which I get as he does dozens of voices but there are two f***ers in line with literal shopping carts of Pops and Statues to get signed. f***ing hell that is some bullshit. How the convention is allowing that is beyond me.
This is why whenever a wrestler or celebrity talks about refusing autograph requests I am on their side. Most of these people aren't fans but people looking to make a quick buck at the expense of real fans.
Yeah this one is more on the convention but damn, this is something that shouldn't even be an issue to start with.

I guess that's why some of the conventions/voice actors I see with rules charge more for, limit, or outright refuse to sign Funko pops. Didn't realize they were that much of a problem with reseller leeches.

I actually got into an "argument" with Foley over this. I went to his show, bought a Cactus shirt, 8x10 and "Hardcore Mr. Socko". I sat with him, got our picture taken, he asked me about the Slash shirt I was wearing, signed the 8x10, I shook his hand, said thank you and started to leave. He asked if I wanted Socko signed, I said, "No, it's ok, you signed the 8x10" He says, "No, that's why I'm here, I'll sign it" and I went back and got Socko signed.
People brought multiple things, he signed them all without a word. Didn't say, "Ok, six is enough". Sat there and signed everyone's everything.
