From glancing at pages for past cons and whatnot, I realize that it alone would probably cost 50$ or so.
My understanding is you pay the money depending on what you'd like (photo/autograph/both) and then wait hours in a very long line. When you get to the front you have a brief interaction with the person, get your autograph/photo and continue on with the day.

As far as entertainment factor goes I can't say I understand it myself. There is lots of other entertaining things to do at the expo (panels, art viewing, talking to artist/writers), but the photo-ops/autographs seem like an odd way to spend your time & money.

But having said that, I'm sure some people feel the same about watching a meaningless Saturday afternoon game and paying $7.75 for a beer is just as pointless, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
