Without wanting to get bogged down in an ongoing and age old arguement about 'Is this a success or not', I guess from my perspective, if I get a signed pic back (even better if it's dedicated) then I at least know for one second in that celeb's day, they were thinking about what I wrote (or even just my name) to put pen to paper (as I say, if it's personalised or has a written note or whatever then that's perfect for me) but if it's a PP then the celeb has literally signed one picture x-number of years ago which has been copied over and over by some random in their management agency, the celeb has never seen your letter; your name; your kind words, nothing. This is why I, personally don't see PPs as anything other than a failure (and it is a personal thing, I'm not knocking those who see PPs as a success, good on you, enjoy them, you still got a reply and if you're happy, great). End of the day, this is why this site is great because those who want a PP from Jim can carry on writing to his agent for one and those who don't are pre-warned.
