Happy/sad successes

Has anyone ever sent out a request, the celeb then passes away (you're sad that your celeb is lost & sad that your autograph request is consequently likely to be unsuccessful) ... but you are pleasantly surprised by still receiving your item signed (eg they might have signed it but not got aroun...

Re: What are your autograph stats?

I'm just curious how I compare to everyone else. I've only been sending for about 10 months so I know I'm nowhere a lot of you. Not including e-mail, purchased, or RTS: Total sent: 42 Received: 13 Success rate: 31% Shortest return time: 7 days Longest return time: 597 days Average return time: 108 ...

Collector vs Commercialism? Hobby vs Business?

I was watching some uTube clips of celebs refusing to sign and reading articles about them & why they did. Some comments were quite depressing really. People calling collectors "pathetic" & "sad". Celebs saying they didn't want to sign because the pictures would just end ...

Re: How long before you give up on a reply?

This may have been posted before, but how long does everyone usually wait before they chalk up a TTM request as a loss? I'm sorry, but this is a somewhat ridiculous question. You wait as long as it takes to get it back. I recently got an autograph back about 8 years after I sent it and it was retur...

Re: Celebrities That Usually Don't Reply TTM

P.S. Don't bother sending Obi-Wan pictures to Ewan McGregor to sign, he has called Star Wars fans asking for autographs, 'parasitic' and 'f*cking w*nkers' in a recent interview! http://m.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/ewan-mcgregor-labels-star-wars-collectors-parasitical-lowlifes-20141028-11cvmq.h...

Re: I'm new to all this, please help me with some nfo :(

Good luck with that. I have trouble enough timing VVs in the same country! Send too early & it'll possibly get binned. Too late, almost certainly get binned. So few people use IRCs these days, fair chance they won't know what to do with them. Still, if you really want them, try. All comes down t...

You plea everywhere? Incontinence is a serious issue! No wonder you need to run a charity auction, to pay for those adult diapers!

Re: MY WHOLE AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION LIST!

I can't understand why you wouldn't make it as easy for the celeb as you can. Post the celeb your letter, photo & self-addressed envelope (with either an international Reply Coupon, though they are rarely sold now, or with stamps from the country you are sending to on the return envelope) Sendin...
