I thought Neil Adams was bad. forking Rob Liefeld wants $100 to autograph either New Mutants 87 or 98. He wants another $60 if you plan on getting it graded. Then he wants $40 to take a picture with him. What. In. The. Hell?
All of these folks, artists, actors, etc, have seen that people will pay a ridiculous amount for an auto and picture. So they just keep on creeping their prices up and people just keep paying it.
