To be called Whos Who?

i email loads of celebs, and sometimes am confused to who they are when i recieve the signed photos.

would it be possible to have a forum, where people can say who these people are.

many thanks jamie

p.s. or is there already a forum for this?

Well if you don't know who they are then don't email them in the first place! :lol: Send to people that you are a true fan of and you'll get a greater excitement when you receive their autograph and you will know who it is instantly {up} On this site we don't encourage just sending to anyone as we refer to it as "spamming". Some people just send to celebrities who reply via email just to get a free autograph and is the reason why many celebrities stop signing altogether so it spoils it for everyone {down}

A thread was made to post unknown autographs in but it is not often used: http://fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=116192 A forum for this is not needed at all {up}

It would help if you wrote down who you sent to in a log book. Here's a link to a log sheet I made that may work for you. It's pretty easy to understand. {up}

That is a great log sheet Ryan! It includes a lot in information. I use Microsoft Excel to log my feedback, it's pretty simple. My logs aren't nearly as detailed as yours though.

Glad you like it. I hope you all find it useful! :D Sure makes it easy when you send out to the same person at 2-4 different addresses, you can trace back to which one you got the rely from. {up}

I just keep a spreadsheet for my TTM attempts. I keep it pretty simple.

All I need to know is:
Name of the celebrity/athlete
Date sent
Date received
Number of days
What I sent
Where I sent to (home, C/O team, C/O agency, etc.)
Result (what it was signed with, RTS, no response, etc.)

I also keep a copy of the picture on my computer for future reference (and re-name it, if necessary) so I can see who it is. Once a photo comes back signed, I can delete the file if I want. It all comes down to proper preparation and record keeping. I learned the hard way, of course.

Your log sheet is great Ryan! ;-)
I agree with Hayley though, it's much better to write to someone you really admire, that way when you get the autograph, you actually appreciate it. :)

^ Nice log sheet RYAN J.

Basically, I have a list of send/receive dates on MS word. I also color code it, for if I bought the autograph, or it's a PP, authentic, etc.

*BTT*

I like the idea of a "who's who" forum, but I fear then people will start using it for all the wrong reasons, (like those who get autographs for profit), will come and waste time, and etc.
