haha I'm afraid you need patience in this field. Being a teen the celebrity will give ya slack.. Do not worry you will be just fine

thats not a way to tell if its a sec, Ive seen plenty of personalized sec autographs, and plenty of unpersonalized real ones

ty all of you

I simply say something along the lines of "feel free to personalize if you wish." There's nothing wrong with coming right out and asking for a personalization though. I just like to leave it as an option rather than a request.

I always hand write my requests. My handwriting isn't the best, but I just take the time to make sure it is legible. And I don't apologize for my handwriting. It's not like I do it on purpose, and is nothing to be embarassed about.

50/50 for me

I never ask for my photos to be personalized but 99% of the time they personalize them to me which is nice.

I never formally ask but sometimes ill say... Maybe you can even personalize it to me if it's not to much trouble!

It's not considered rude at all, I think. You are just asking the celeb a question.

do you guys ask for your photographs to be personalized or is that considered rude? i personally have not asked any TTM to be personalized but ive sent lots of emails and ive asked those to all be personalized because i have nothing to loose (stampts/envelopes) so i figure give it a try.

you guys?

thank you both for the reply, i dont know about you guys personally, maby its just because im a teen but when i sign somthing, it never comes out the same lol. im practicing though. that makes me feel a little better when i see a sloppy sig =)

HI nicholas,

I personally only send hand written letters because I don't like wasting ink.
But I'm sure the typed letters or not you'll get a response
Long written hand letters are sometimes bad and good some celebs like it some don't and won't read it but will sign you photo

I think that if you see a lot of success that you'll feel good that you're letter is comming thats what motavites me

Hope this helped
Alexandra
