Will they sign if...

Post by bballcards09 »

If I do not send an SASE, will they still sign something, or give me something that they signed? Because if they will I don't want to waste a stamp.

Thanx,

I'm sure some people will. But the more busy celebs most likely won't bother. Its better just to send a SASE to be safe.

My own view (and I know many people differ!) is that sending a request and expecting the celeb to not only sign you something, but also to pay for it to be sent to you, is quite rude. If they sign, then they're already doing us a favour.

Thats how we look at it, but i'm sure they're over whelmed that we care enough to ask for their autograph. To not send a SASE imo is rude though.

It really pays to do your research on the database for this one, as there are a few celebs who do not seem to require a SASE to respond. Others will only reply if you give them something to sign +SASE

Yeah expecting a celeb to send you a photo AND pay for return postage would be considered very rude. I alway send a couple of items and a SASE with every request. And like Jaffer said, it pays to do your research. {up}

Some will, some won't. I always try to send one because I think you have a better chance of getting something back. But if you really want to know I'd look up the people you're wondering about and the feedback should tell you.
