Cool!
Wonder if he is just as unaproachable as he was when I went to a trek Convention years ago, ...no autographs that is.

I think he charges $75-$100 for his autograph

from what I have heard he not very friendly and wont sign everything.. at fx this year where he was a guest my buddy took up a painting he had painted of leonard and wanted leonard to sign it and He REFUSED stating it was not a "licensed" piece. My bud was like I painted this and its for me not to resale. He still refused soo he then brought over some original cels he had brought with him from the filmation cartoon and Leonard refused to sign those as well stating they were not licensed my buddy then said umm there is the seal on the corner from filmation leonard still refused so my bud called leonard a umm not nice name to his face turned around and walked off......

These negative experiences are surprising since I've met Mr. Nimoy both at conventions & at the viewing show at the Christie's auctions 3 years ago. Both times he was very pleasant and we even joked around with one another a little.

Not saying your story isn't true Lee, but Avenger took a Chris Uminga Copic Marker Spock piece to Leonard to sign at TorontoCon for Anand here on the forum and he signed that and a photo for my fiance who LOVES him

Here is a piece Uminga did for Anand. Just had to top it of with a Spock signature.

I saw him at the Fan Expo this year. I went through his autograph line and for the photo op. Both times when I met with him he was very genuine, kind and pleasant to speak with. I got the impression he appreaciated meeting fans. I came away having had an awesome day that day. Also, autographs were ~$60 CDN.

It would be so cool to meet Mr. Nimoy.
