emmah Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 EXCELLENT GUEST !but I heard in USA shows he charges $150 - $200 per signature so can you give us some idea of what he is going to charge over here in the UK .... You must have some idea when you negotiated to get him here and if it is going to be over £50 a signature we need to budget for this so the earlier you can tell us the better !

Moderators Dave Phillips Posted April 28, 2005 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi Guys We have not negotiated the exact rate yet but it is likely to be over £50. A signed Aldrin on the moon photo retails at about £250 so you can be sure that your investment will not lose it's value in the future. Generally speaking moonwalkers (and yes they did really go to the moon) are the most desireable of all space related signatures and Buzz has always been up there with Armstrong as the two most requested signatures. A chance to meet this legend is worth the money alone. Best Dave Phillips Autographica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you are a fan of Space guests or not, this is a unique opportunity to get not just a signature but also to meet a living legend and get a piece of history.

mistaken_plane Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) TBH, I think youre looking at £100. Not only does his auto cost a fair whack, but his fee has to be covered too. But still, £100 for what youre getting, well worth saving for! How sick am I that I wont be around to meet the man.

GoldenGreen Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 This guy blows Shatner, Hamill, etc out of the water, remember they have only pretended to go into space. He has actually done it, and has also been one of a small group of twelve men that have walked / visited another place in the galaxy. It is like having the opportunity to meet Christopher Columbus for example, someone that is a true pioneer and explorer within your own life-time, but someone that is and has already had a major impact on the last 36 years and will continue to do so in the future.

Steviefull Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Kinda puts things in perspective, when some bit part actor can charge £15.00 for an auto, then this man should be 100 times that cost, not that im saying he should be. He has at least achieved something that none of us will ever be able to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calumn Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yeah, normally speaking I'd consider £50+ to meet a guest to be rediculous, but this guy is an exception. I heard he chaged $200 in the US so that would equate to over £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugaziuk Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 It is like having the opportunity to meet Christopher Columbus for example Sorry for the history lesson butcolumbus only actually made it to the bahamas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Auror Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 It is like having the opportunity to meet Christopher Columbus for example Sorry for the history lesson butcolumbus only actually made it to the bahamas! But even the Bahamas is a lot further than anyone else got before him (discounting the Norse, since their voyages into North America had zero impact on history... not their fault, since they did that in a time when communication wasn't exactly efficient... and when the Native Americans arrived, there was a land bridge from Siberia to Alaska, so it isn't as if they crossed a vast amount of sea to get here). Everyone tries to dump on Columbus, but the simple fact is that his voyage in 1492 is the first major event that marks the start of the Renaissance, and THAT is his true importance; the voyage marked the move to a new attitude in Europe that spelled the end of the Dark Ages. The space programs of the US and USSR mark the end of the "it can't be done" attitude among engineers, and the beginning of micro-technology that started the race for bigger and faster computers squeezed into smaller and smaller boxes. The resulting Technological Revolution is at least as important as the Renaissance . Besides... they went to the MOON, man! What an exciting adventure!

Mr Wiggly Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I know it might sound a lot of money but I'd pay to see any astronaut / cosmonaut. These people are heroes who have risked their lives for the conquest of space. They are living legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naurarwen_fangorn Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You see I'm stupid I'd pay that much just to meet him cause I'm crazy and stupid like that. I really wanna go now. I need to ask my mum if she'll let me and possibly come with me and possibly give me lots of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Jack O'Neill Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) The more I have been thinking about this the more I want to go and I have just mentioned this event to my dad and he wasent really interested but I said Buzz Aldrin would be there and it has really got him thinking now, after all Buzz is not your normal sci-fi TV actor, he is the 2nd man who walked on the moon and I know if I didnt meet him now I would regret it later.

Strider Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I would love to meet him, it would truly be an honour, but Heathrow is quite far, and a lot of expense, so I am doubtful if my wish could come true. I need a higher paying job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machbusterman Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 A signed Aldrin on the moon photo retails at about £250 so you can be sure that your investment will not lose it's value in the future. Not trying to be picky with my first post but an Aldrin signed on the moon photograph's value is circa $180-$250 or about £100. I think any guest, even one as distinguished as Dr. Aldrin should be dissuaded from charging much more than £75. Remember that even at £75 it would be 3 times more expensive than any previous Autographica guests. Just my tuppence-worth. Regards, Derek P.S. Garry and Dave put on a GR8T show!!!

JOLLYWOOD Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi its a lot of bucks for a signed photo,look what you can get at other shows for that 50 bucks would be fair but any thing over that i wouldnt pay.I know hes a famous person but id much prefer good actors from good shows or films to put on my wall...............id prefer to have buzz light year than pay 100 bucks for a photo of buzz 2nd man on the moon. sorry its way to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriagrin Brandytook Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I'd love to meet Buzz, as would my hubby, but there is now way I can afford to pay more than £30 for an autograph, and even that is a push. It's a shame, coz if I had the money I'd pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hum3z Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 £100 +? That's crazy for one signature. Does it all go to him or what? Thats £1000 every 10-15 minutes. And no way is it like meeting columbus. + Everyone remembers armstrong more so for the moon. £100? Shocked. Ive seen some not selling on ebay for 30 bucks.
