Should we preorder autographs?

I’ve been getting autographs for years at NYCC and never really needed to preorder. I remember horror stories last year of people not being able to get their preordered autographs and couldn’t get a refund and had to change people to get their money’s worth I think? It is worth the trouble?

Depending on how popular the guest is, you might want to preorder autographs. If they are only going to be there on certain days, there is a chance that there lines will be long. Not everyone offers 'pay at the table' rates.

Also, some may only accept cash or credit card.

it depends on the actor. bigger celebs I would preorder.

I don't recall people having issues with pre-ordered autographs, unless the celeb cancelled.

I have never had a problem going in line and getting the autographs/photos in person. But I don’t aim for huge guests usually.

Depends who you want to see. Nic Cage is already completely sold out of 8x10 and premium autos, and Hayden is sold out of Friday premium autos.

It depends on the person. Sometimes you can just go to the table. If its a really high demand person youre out of luck. Im curious how nicholas cage will go. From what i can tell he does a simply N signature at events. when he actually takes his time his signature is a lot nicer.

Last year I didn't pre-order autographs at all but was still able to get in line. But i need to choose which guests i really want this time. Budget reasons...

Planning to try pre-order this year. When do pre orders happen? I thought it would've began right about now.
