I usually send an Index card and ask for a signed photo aswell, sometimes I get both back signed, others either just the card or photo.

In Shailene Woodley's case, it's okay to have not sent anything as her agency supplies the pictures. As far as I know she signs authentically too, but you do need to include an SASE.

For peace of mind, I always include a photo or index card in my request, just 'in case'. It also helps to check the Feedback of that particular celebrity.

It's always best to send your own item... send an index card if you can't print a photo on a glossy paper. Sometimes you'll get a preprint if you don't supply your own.

if i send an autograph request, what if u dont have anything for them to sign, like a pic of them? will they send a signed pic of their own self? by the way i am sending an autograph request to shailene woodly
