Over a year ago it was $200. I've heard a couple of years ago or so, it was $800 at SDCC. It's more of a supply and demand sort of thing.

I think it's very doubtful from Adam.

Anyone ever dealt with him before, is he cool, and is he expensive? Thoughts?

Yes, he's cool, and expensive. I don't like his pick and choose method. Alison told me that one guy has tried for 7 years in a row to get a sketch, with no luck. And I've heard of guys getting one their first time.

I think I'll bring my SS MJ & Mystique base for him to sign.

I think I'll look for someone else... Hughes sounds like too much trouble

No question, it is difficult to get on Adam's sketch list. However, his sketch price at all cons (except SDCC) is $400.00.

From memory, about 3 or 4 years back, he charged $600.00 for sketches at SDCC but only did a couple due to demands on his time. This year he did not sketch at SDCC.

Allison said to the Hughes-Fans Yahoo group that Adam would do quick head sketches if he had time available. I saw him do a lot of head sketches in the front of his Cover Run book for a donation of $5.00 to the Sheepdog Rescue charity group.

His booth at SDCC was busy throughout the con but he signed during certain times and did head sketches as well. Hope that helped to clarify things

Best,

Royd
