Just remember that you don't want the celebrity to think you are only writing to them for the sake of adding their autograph to your collection :wink:

(I'm not saying that you are doing that by any means, of course.)

I always ask politely for the autograph to be personalised, I think that way the celebrity knows it's not going to end up on ebay :cry: .

Hi James {up}

I did say
There is an exception to this though when celebs pre-sign a whole pile of photographs to leave with their agent (e.g Ewan McGregor). That way you will almost always get an unpersonalised pic.
:lol:

I take your point though, nothing is absolute in the world or autograph collecting :P

I think as long as you sound nice and polite whatever you say will be great.

Personally, I don't ask for them to personalize it and a lot of the time it comes back personalized, I think it's a nice added touch.
Although, I do wish I had asked Gene Simmons to personalize but even then, there's nothing saying that he would have :D

How is the best way to ask for them to personalize it? Do you just go and ask them to, or is there a way of wording it that you all have found successful?

Interesting point.

I started to ask for a dedication, and have had a 90% sucess.

Ian- Ewan Mc Gregor does sometimes dedicate the member webkin got a dedicated pcture from him.

heya all i agree with Ian on this one! When i write to celebs i ask for a signed picture and then if possible could they dedicate it to me!

Sum of them have dedicated them to me, whih is good because they could prove that the celebrity has read your letter!!! :D

Hey MW1221 {up}

Like cowboys said, I think most celebs personalise by default nowadays to limit the chance of their auto being sold :?

There is an exception to this though when celebs pre-sign a whole pile of photographs to leave with their agent (e.g Ewan McGregor). That way you will almost always get an unpersonalised pic.

However, on the other hand I don't think there it would be rude to request a personalised autograph - as long as you ask politely :wink:

Hope this helps!

I've started asking now just incase cos I remember someone got a signed pic of Georgie Henley and theirs wasn't personalised cos they didn't ask but most other people got a personalised one cos they did ask.
