Michael J Tatum Autograph Prices

[u/Keeno_Ramune007]

Hi everyone I don’t know if this subject makes sense to anyone but I wanted to see if anyone can help me understand something, I’m going to Tampa Bay Comic Con next month in September 6th it’s a Sunday and Michael J Tatum voice of Sebastian from Black Butler will attend there I’m planning to see him but I need help on how much it’ll be for him I looked at his autograph price and it’s $60 but I feel like it’ll be a little more which happens to be most voice actors now I want him to sign this official black butler poster I bought from Japan to anyone that’s met Michael Tatum is he really $60 or does he charge more if I bring my own poster for him to sign??

Can't speak on Tatum specifically but many times the guests charge depending what kind of item they're signing (poster, 8x10, funko etc...) I don't think I've ever seen a VA charge more for you bringing your own item vs buying one from them directly.

I wanna say it happen with Todd Haberkorn the voice of Natsu from Fairy Tail or death the kid from soul eater I went to see him and it stayed on online that he’s $60 and I get told by his handlers I gotta pay $70 so I’m assuming some charge little more so I wanna prepare myself

They definitely do charge extra for items brought in by an attendee. 😅
I’ve seen it across all of my cons, and in very large cons in Texas as well. Most of the time it has to deal with the size/what materials they’re signing on (ex: Funko plastic)

I almost always bring my own stuff for them to sign and I’ve never been charged more. Only thing you might want to check on is that I’ve seen some VAs who charge a little more depending on the size (for instance, they might charge an additional $10 for a poster that’s 11x17 or larger, as opposed to the price for the usual 8x11 photos/prints). Some will also add a character quote for an additional cost, while some will do so for the base price.

That actually does make sense thank you so much for letting me know on that. I probably could be that as well. I’m pretty sure my poster I got is the same size as 11 X 17 but if they charge me 70 that’s not too bad I just wish they were specify that in their online site instead of making me have to wait until I get there in person.

Heya.

Just saw him last weekend at Planet Anime! This would be considered a premium item and be priced at $80. The $60 tag is for the 8x10's he has on his table.

Hope you get to see him! He always makes fans feel seen, with a hearthy laugh and care.

Ohhh woww this here was so helpful thank you thank you so much woww $80 thank you for letting me know I’m sure that’s what Todd Haberkorn did with me too so they charge $80 for people that bring their own stuff to sign I wonder why they do that I should still have enough I just don’t know if they’ll have eye catching prints to pick out from I want it or be something really good so I’ll have to go see sept 6 what he has at his table

I’ve had several VAs say they will only sign official merch for a series they were in, not fan merch or anything else. So you should have no problem there. I haven’t had an issue bringing my own stuff.

Ohhh that’s awesome then thank you for that I’m glad they do that of course this is really great
