Tengrinews.kz - Following the Comic Con Astana festival, popular online marketplaces have been flooded with ads selling autographs of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. The star, known for his roles in "Hannibal," "Doctor Strange," and "Arctic," gained widespread admiration and love from fans worldwide and was one of the headliners at the event. During the festival, Mikkelsen held an autograph session for his fans.
Now, numerous online ads offer Mikkelsen's autograph, with prices ranging from an affordable 18,000 tenge(37 USD) to an impressive 300,000 tenge(630 USD).
"Authentic autograph on a high-quality photo in a formal suit. Perfect condition, photo protected from damage. An excellent gift for fans and collectors. Price: 300,000 tenge. Don’t miss the chance to add a rare item to your collection!" says one ad.
Other, more affordable options are also available. For example, Astana residents can buy the Hollywood actor's autograph for 30,000 tenge.
"Autograph for sale, obtained with blood and sweat. Negotiable," another ad states.
One seller listed the price as 11,111 tenge but mentioned it is not final.
"Price negotiable, I don't really know what the right price should be," the ad's author noted.
Another seller highlighted that such an autograph could make an excellent gift.
"Original autograph of Mads Mikkelsen, a Cannes Film Festival award winner. Best known for roles in 'Pusher,' 'Flickering Lights,' 'King Arthur,' 'Casino Royale,' 'The Hunt,' 'Hannibal,' 'Fantastic Beasts.' Get a chance to touch the world of movie stars. Also makes a great gift for fans," the description for the 18,000 tenge offer reads.
However, with increasing demand and the number of offers, the risk of fraud also rises. Experts recommend being cautious when purchasing autographs, checking the seller's reputation, and avoiding unfamiliar links. It's essential to take precautions to avoid disappointment and not fall victim to scams.
