I do it all the time. I get about 65% of them back.
So yeah, it is a risk.

I wouldnt reccomend sending anything that is rare and costly.

I usually go to Amazon.com and get CDs there.
Usually they are really cheap.

Good luck!

You probably shouldn't send anything that you would be upset about never getting back.
But if it's a risk you want to take, go for it.
I know a lot of people have had great successes sending CD covers to different artists.

Otherwise, you could do what Madina said by getting a picture printed out.

Great album by a great band. I think you should try sending it, if you get it back awesome if not then you could just print a pic of the cover off the internet.

if he is known to send back authentics, i would send it. even if they just put it back unsigned it would be okay.

I was planning on sending my copy of Mellon Collie to get signed by Billy Corgan, but im having second thoughts. Should I, or should'nt I? any tips are welcome, as I am new,
