Most, if not all of the cast of B5 that I have had sign autographs were
donating the proceeds to one charity or another, and many like CC signed
the
first item free. I'm not really an autograph hound so I'm not sure if
this is
common pratice among sci-fi/fantasy stars but it is refreshing after
hearing
tales of some sports legends autograph prices.
