[color=#800000]Hi there,

I'm new to this board, but not to this hobby.

I was almost inactive since 2003 and sent out just a couple of requests even though I always wanted to, but just didn't have the time to write something or just was to lazy :? , but now after the first few requests (nothing back, yet) the old fascination for this hobby is back and it's really fun :razz: , so fanmail.biz seems to be the right place to be and to get in touch with other collectors.

But back to the question the longest wait...

I always keep record and never delete my old records as I had some response times longer than 1 year (Jon Voight, Mira Sorvino...) but my longest took almost 2 years :o to get back to me (but 4 or 7 :shock: years as I read in other posts...can't beat that):

Gene Hackman - sent: 05. July 1997 received: 25. June 1999 (1 year, 11 months, 20 days to be exact)

The longest time to get a reply was about 7 years from Phillies pitcher Don Carman. He then signed the three requests that I sent him during that time.

Hi! ;-)

My longest wait was approximately [b]1 year[/b] (not too bad, seeing as Selise waited 4 years!). It was from [b]Zac Efron[/b], I wrote to him on [i]1 October 2007[/i] and got a reply from him on [i]19 August 2008[/i]. {up} Another one which also took a while was from [b]Mark Wahlberg[/b], I sent to him on [i]7 January 2008[/i] and he replied on [i]4 September 2008[/i]. {thumb2} I don't mind waiting, as long as I get a reply eventually, I'm very happy! :mrgreen:

Good luck!

For me, the longest I've waited was Placido Domingo (an opera tenor) and that wait was 4 years. I know I've sent a ton of requests to him, about 7, because I never heard back.
First mailed: 2004
Received in 2008

I did mail to him in the 1980's and 1990's, but I couldn't tell you when with that one.. so I'm going by my current lists of sent/received autographs.

Before 2000, all my records were on paper. Around 2000 I started typing my records.

Currently the longest I have waited is a year.

Sean Bean: sent on 8-11-06 and received 8-3-07
Yannick Bisson: sent on 1-17-07 and received 1-14-08

I don't have a top 5 bit the longest i've been waiting is just Brian May which I sent on the 27th of September 2008.

So I've been collecting autographs since the end of December 2006, and there are some things I'm waiting on that are just killing me :lol: :lol: :lol:

1) Gina Lollobrigida ([b]Sent: December 2006[/b])
2) Lily Tomlin ([b]Sent: January 2007, Received: November 2008[/b])
3) Oprah Winfrey ([b]Sent: August 2007[/b])
4) Megan Franich ([b]Sent: August 2008[/b])
5) Joan Collins ([b]Sent: November 2007, again in July 2008[/b])

Who's your Top 5 ??
