The Hollywood Collector’s Show (this weekend) is a surreal experience because TV and movie stars of yesterday that are rarely see anywhere else, turn up, ready and willing to pose for photos with you for a price. The current fee is generally $40 for a single celebrity, but Valerie Harper was a big draw and her price was the highest at $50. Her Mary Tyler Moore series costar Ed Asner’s pics sold for $40 a, pop. Nice to know Valerie was reportedly as lively and friendly as usual.

FANS ARE STILL SPENDING BIG TIME AT THE HOLLYWOOD COLLECTOR'S SHOW

The Hollywood Collectors Show in Burbank seems to be flourishing – perhaps because of the economic downturn. Past-their-prime celebrities have realized how much cash they can make and suddenly it’s hip to sell autographs and photos at $20 a pop and up. Excited fans lined up around the block to meet the three most popular stars featured in this past weekend’s show – Paul Reubens, Joan Collins, and Tony Curtis. Even Daniel Baldwin was there. Insiders estimate that Paul Reubens (above, looking adorable, with a masked fan) raked in the most bucks because he sold loads of Pee Wee Herman videos and movies besides photos etc. “Over $10,000 per day.”
