Huh? What are you saying?

Each film industry profession has a powerful guild to maximize the value they can extract. I think it's reasonable to understand why this cartel-like behavior doesn't apply to restricting the supply of autographs?

This is not doing one or two autographs for an actual fan. This is giving away hundreds of autographs to charismatic middle-men.

Seems like an opportunity for a more organized group (eg, Screen Actors Guild) to corner the supply that underpins the autograph market and better compensate the actors themselves based on the market value of their autographs.
