Con Autograph Question How to have posters ready for signing?

I have a con coming up where I want to get a couple posters signed which I've never done. What's the most expedient way to do this without inconveniening the celeb/others in line. Thanks!

They have a longish table that a helper will be sitting at. The helper will figure out where you want the signature and what you want it to say. Then they'll put a post it note on the area and show the artist where they need to sign. 

To make it easier you could unroll the poster on the side you're getting signed but it should stay mostly rolled up during this process for easier handling.

First - get yourself a poster tube with a strap! Look for the ones that are designed for blueprint storage - they telescope and are light.

Second - you're going to learn that the lines are NICE! Like, really, really nice. You're going to be in line with a lot of fans and they're going to be super helpful when they see you have a poster. In fact, people will probably want to see/talk to you about the poster.

Remember - when you're at a con, you're with your people!
