Usually when a celebrity receives too many requests for an autograph by e-mail, they switch to preprint or autopen in order to send the requests out as soon as possible. This is probably due to the overwhelming amount of authentic autograph requests piling up in their inbox. If you do not mind getting preprints, you should try e-mailing studio fan mail. They send preprints of various celebrities very fast. If you collect authentic autographs, your best chance is to try writing to them through the mail. I know it stinks when you send a LOR, pictures, and an SASE to a celebrity only to receive an RTS, autopen, or preprint. One failure is a step closer to a success. You just have to remember to continue trying because after waiting weeks or months for an authentic autograph and getting one in the mail is such a rewarding feeling. Don't give up! Keep collecting and good luck!
