Ken Jennings did a book signing at The Strand in NYC on July 30th.

I wasn't able to go, but my sister did and she had him sign a little notebook for me.

I read through this entire thread. JamesG's collection must be worth thousands of dollars. It's not cheap if you get them at fan conventions. Requesting them for free by mail is probably the way most people do it. There are some expenses with postage and printer ink/paper if you print photos to send to be signed.

I've been going through my collection. Many of these I won in eBay auctions in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some I requested in the mail. A few were offered to me by people who contacted me through my websites or were sent as gifts.

I'm probably going to have sell some of the ones I bought on eBay to help pay bills. If anyone is interested in any of them, please contact me.

I have quite a few other non-autographed television publicity photos. I really only focused on collecting items from my favorite shows.

Miscellaneous

Debra Jo Fondren - She e-mailed me years ago asking for a copy of her Mork & Mindy episodes. She was in the "Mork vs. the Necrotons" episodes with Raquel Welch. I asked her if she could send me an autographed photo. She sent me four personalized color autographed photos. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for the September 1977 issue and Playmate of the Year for 1978. She's not wearing many clothes in the photos. Not complaining.

It has to be. Also, when a celebrity dies (unfortunately), their autograph value goes way up.

I saw that the Ozzy Osbourne book I had signed by him in 2010 was going for $1,000s after he died.

I had one from earlier this year I forgot to put here... I went to see The Room (again) at NYC's Angelika Film Center and Tommy Wiseau did a meet-and-greet before the screening.

He signed my DVD that I had Greg Sestero sign at another event.
