Pictures were $5 each. Some would give you a $5 discount if you purchased one of their pictures. Others wouldn't.
Not necessarily justifiable, but that is one reason.... And no, I'm not defending them. I don't appreciate spending almost $200 on autographs, no matter how cool.

Well see, I did not know that part. But did you have to pay to get into the convention? Just wondering who winds up making the money on these events.
