   From: dahoov2@cox.net   
      
   He doesn't sign by mail but he signs readily in person but is not out   
   on the town a whole lot...   
      
   His sigs are depending on what it is.  Index cards can go low as 40   
   bucks and posters and cool memoribilia a lot more.  I'd probably guess   
   his sig is 100 -200 on average.   
      
   I had a great one signed on a charity ticket for the premiere of   
   Attack fo the Clones i got from someone who worked there.  I'd guess   
   that'd bring a good amount; alas the item faded a bit (was in ball   
   point).  I have another from another crew member but is on a crappy   
   homemade item (I can't tell story behind that right now) so that I   
   think I could get about 40 bucks for on a good day and an inscribed   
   index that was obtained in person on my behalf.  Another one where I   
   bought it.   
      
   A good quality or rare image or original script could bring several   
   hundred.
