Its legit. Have a COA. The guy had to go to three cons to get it autographed.

yeah, it kinda sucks that Gina didn't sign it. I suppose I can hang on to it though;)

Anyone have any opinion if I paid too much for this? Did I get a good deal? Think its worth more? I'd appreciate the input.

I think that's a lot of money, but I'm sure not one to throw stones. I've seen ones on eBay, signed by everyone, sell for upwards of $250 or so, but nothing that expensive. If it was worth it to you, that's all that should matter.

Just a word of friendly advice: never trust a COA. Anyone can forge one, so they're pretty much meaningless, unless they come from some big company like FOX or Universal.

Cheers.

I picked one up from eBay way back in 2002 for @ $100. Appears to be authentic, but I guess I'll never know for sure.

Also got one of Mal, personalized by Mr. Fillion, along with his 7-layer taco dip recipe. Quite tasty, actually.

ooo Can I get a copy of that recipe? I love 7 layer taco dip, and hot damn if I wouldn't love it made from a Fillion Family recipe! I hear those Fillion Fiesta's are a real blast. If only to be Mrs. Fillion so I could wear a sombrero and ride the burro like the rest of the family!

Did you get ripped off? As a collector of much crap, I have to say, an item is only worth it if it is something you couldn't live without. There have been too many times when I hemmed and hawed about something, didn't get it and regretted it for a very long long time. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to spend that, but I also have invested over $3,000 in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel trading cards, so I am no fine example of restraint. Hell I once paid $350 for a corset and I've worn it like 3 times. I would get it frame, and possibly insured and the next time you hear Gina is out, get your ass down there and get it autographed. Then someday in the future when you are flat broke and willing to part with such an item you can get for it nearly what you paid for it.

And if you have another $700 laying around could you pick me up a Serenity Trading Cards case of cards, I'll pay you back after I go through them. I promise ;)

Shoulda waited to get one of the SD Comic Con '04 ones with *all* of the BDH autographs, I reckon...and yeah, $750 is probably 3-4 times what most of them are going for...

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Personally, I cherish the memories of meeting my Big Damn Heroes more than their signatures. Now, I absolutely adore all the autographs I've gotten from them (especially the ones on my Firefly set!), but I don't think I would pay $700 for them. I mean, what fun is a signature if you don't have a personal experience to match it up to?

But that's just my opinion. If you think it was worth it, then it was worth it.
