Con Autograph Question Etiquette for Actor signing

I’m a teenager going to my first con soon. The actor for my favorite character from my favorite show and book will be attending. I payed 150ish for the premium autograph they offer. I originally wanted to get my book signed but came into hands of a pop of the character and was wondering if it would be too much of me to ask if they could sign both or just suck it up and stick to the book?

Unfortunately, it depends and there's no way to know. I doubt they'd mind, but their handler might.

I doubt they'd mind, but their handler might.

Why should we care what the handler thinks, if the celebrity is okay with it? The handler works for the celebrity, not the other way around.

The handler is there to express the actual feelings of the celebrity. They aren’t trying to short change you, they are trying to make a fair distribution of time to all the people who paid for the experience. The celebrity does want to see you- but equally so for everyone in line

A funko pop is usually considered a “premium” signature so do that one. The premium tag to me sometimes means unusual shape that is harder to sign and sometimes means “item you might resell for profit”. Both apply to a funko and not to a book

No, the handler is there to keep things running smoothly. I've seen more than one celeb ignore what their handler says. Tha handler is a critical role, don't get me wrong, nit it's not always about what the celeb wants
