Hello, I am going to attend the Wizard World New Orleans Con to get Stan Lee to sign several books.
I have already purchased the Stan Lee VIP package, but still need to add more signatures to the order.
The package comes with 1 signature, and I am going to want 4-5 signatures total.
I had hoped to wait until I was at the Con to add the other signatures, but do they either limit you to how many you can purchase or do they "run out" of signatures for the day (he is only attending on Saturday Jan. 6th.
I have heard that there are many restrictions when it comes to Stan Lee, I wondered if you could answer some questions so that I am prepared, and not caught off guard.
Please understand that I am not a dealer, I don't even buy new comics- nor have I attended many cons (I just have several nice comics I would really like him to sign while he is still around)
So the "rules" that come with meeting/getting some of the high profile artists to do signings are confusing to me.
Such as - I have heard that you can not speak to Stan Lee; you can not touch Stan Lee (meaning shake his hand), etc.
Are these statements true? I get not touching him - he is 94 years old. But not speaking to him???
Are there other restrictions that I should be aware of?
Most importantly to me is in regards to his actually signing books:
I have seen many people at Cons have their books bagged and boarded, but with windows cut out.
Either to protect the books edges from damage or to show specifically where they would like an artist to sign a book.
Are either of these scenarios permitted with Stan Lee signing books?
I am sure I have other questions, but answers to these would be a big help.
Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you
Ron
