Just a couple questions...

[xf_katewalshfan]

Hi!

This last summer, I sent in for an autographed photo from the cast of Grey's Anatomy. Just about a month later, I recieved the photo, signed by everybody but my favorite actress, Kate Walsh.
I decided I wanted one just from her, so on (I think it was) August 21, I sent one to the Grey's Anatomy studio for her, along with one for the cast again so I could give it to my friend...
But, I forgot to put stamps on the SAE, so I had to open both envelopes after I sealed them. I stamped the SAE's, put them back in, but the outside envelopes had lost their stickiness. I took out some packing tape and taped them shut- no problem, right?

I haven't recieved any replies from either Kate Walsh or the cast... Would it have mattered that I had already gotten a cast photo, or that I had to tape the envelopes closed?

Thanks

Edit: Can I send in a magazine to be signed?
Edit #2: What's the maximum time I should wait before I send for another one?

Hey xf_katewalshfan, welcome to the forum!

Nope, I have taped envelopes before and had them taped coming back to me, it does not matter. And with all the fanmail that they must get, I doubt they know they already sent you a photo.

Code: Select all

Edit: Can I send in a magazine to be signed? 

yes you can send in a magazine to be signed, just make sure you are prepared to lose it. When sending things out to be signed, there is no guarantee that you will receive it back. The celeb may keep it, or it may get lost in the mail.

A few weeks is probably good enough time for major celebrities /tv shows.

Well goodluck, hope I answered all your questions!

I wrote to Kate a year ago and I didn´t receive nothing.
I wrote her via Grey´s anatomy and via venue and I didn´t receive nothing

I would wait awhile before sending to the same celeb again.. Some celebs or agents do keep track on who they sent a request too.

Good point. I have read reports where certain celebrities keep track of who sent an autograph request. For example, George Foreman keeps a list of everyone who writes to him for an autograph request, he keeps the name & address of people who write to him for an autograph. He does this to different if a request comes from a genuine fan or from a dealer who only wants more autographs to put up for sale.

I don't blame the celebreties who keep track

yeah me either, more should keep track. It would be easier on them and us

And neither do I. In fact, keeping track is a good idea to stop the autograph sellers who only want to contact celebrities to get an autograph only because they want to sell the autograph on EBAY, et al.

I usually wait a year to write for another request. As I stated on another post I only write to celeb and athletes I like. I find there's no point of wasting money on celebrities who I don't like.

Thanks to everyone who replied!

I think I might wait until next summer, and try for Kate again- I'm totally in love with her!
I hope I can get a reply!


Thanks again,

Haley
