   Serioiusly, I can fly to LA and do a stalkazzi thing and get him to   
   sign two or three items and all my costs are paid for and I get an in   
   person to boot.  So why indeed are these people paying these prices...   
   what do they have to brag about.  Someone walks into the house and   
   sees a framed Harrison  ford Graph.  Conversation goes like this:   
      
   WOW!  That is so cool, where'd you get it.   
      
   Person paying stupid prices:  "I bought it"   
      
   Person who WAS in Awe:  "oh".   
      
   Move along, there's nothing special here.
