They are professional stalkers, not fans and are only in it for the money they make selling celebrity autographs.

That's the million dollar question. I see that at least one guy is in both the NJ & NY videos. They have obviously paid someone off to get the info. Sick stuff, for sure.

I almost feel like these videos are being made as leverage against Steve in these situations. He knows these guys are vultures, but he's signing anyway. If he tells them no, they can edit the footage to make him look like the bad guy, then sell the footage (and the controversy) to TMZ or some other video rag. And the headline reads: "Steve Perry disses fans!" So either way, these guys win.
Pretty effed up.

Did you have that scenario pegged or what! Proof that dude right there in the clip is going to make $130 at least off that pic he got Perry to sign.So not cool.......
Yoda wrote:I don't know, but in my personal opinion, the whole big thing about having an autographed item is that you, yourself are the one who got the item signed by that celebrity. The autograph is sort of like a "bookmark" to remember that time you got to meet that famous person face to face, and the autograph is personalized to you. It's a rarity, because we all don't meet celebrities every day, or the ones we admire the most everyday, so it's a special thing. I just hate the idea of someone making money off of it as a business. And I don't care about any COA, unless I'm there during the signing or unless the celebrity tells me over the phone that he/she is sending me a personalized autographed item, I just don't find it as special. I have an autographed copy of one of Faith Hill's albums. I don't think the seller of whom I bought it from realized it was autographed when they sold it to me off of Half.com. I don't display it or anything, it just sits on the shelf with my other CDs. Now if I was the one who got to meet Faith Hill and got her to sign this CD, I would have probably framed the cover.

It's too bad Steve couldn't tell them to put it where the sun don't shine when they were swarming all over him, but that makes for bad press.
One thing that I have always found so funny is "certificates of authenticity." The very person who is selling the item is the one printing up the COAs assuring you it's legit. And this guy says "hey, my boss saw the signing." That is beyond stupid. These two guys work for the same company so it isn't reassuring to me at all when I read something like that. Of course, their situation is a bit different here because they do have the video of SP signing the stuff, but I see so many other sites where they provide a COA that they printed up.![]()
