).Why does it say this? There are plenty of good signers who are over 80 years old, such as Lee MacPhail and Bobby Doerr. Just curious.
I think this is in the wrong forum, so I would appreciate if someone could move it!

At the top of the Feedback forum, under Forum rules it says "(celeb should be under 80 years old ).

Maybe that's new, I've never seen it before. Wierd, let's start a petition to have it removed!

Pm'd admin about it earlier and had no reply as of yet.
Scifi, comic books and a few other areas are my interests in autograph collecting. If you want to talk feel free to pm me.

Re: Why does it say "Celeb Should be Under 80 Years Old?"
Any rule that eliminates Betty White is just WRONG!!!
I've been trying to break into the screenwriting business for 16 years (so far, I have had two screenplays optioned). I'm sending out my Wannabe flyer asking celebrities to autograph it and include an inspirational "Don't Give Up" kind of message on it. http://wannabepride.com/blog/?p=20 The Great Wannabe Autograph Project

Re: Why does it say "Celeb Should be Under 80 Years Old?"
Yeah, that rule is ridiculous. Betty White still happily signs autographs and she's over 80 :neutral:
Favorite autographs received: ALAN RICKMAN!!, Henry Ian Cusick (received IP!), John Saul, J.K. Rowling, R.L. Stine, Smokey Robinson, Emma Thompson, Alex Trebek, Colin Firth, David Tennant, John Simm and loads more! I love them all
Most wanted: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Morrissey, Naveen Andrews, Sean Connery

Re: Why does it say "Celeb Should be Under 80 Years Old?"
I just noticed this odd rule too. I don't think that is fair either. I have a few LOR floating around that go with people over 80 years old and would love to share any success I get.
