Yeah, I have a few of those. I've had celebs send me an extra photo even though I sent my own, a few notes, etc. Some have kept my photos and sent theirs instead.

>Martin Sheen wrote a note on my letter---but then he does that for everyone, lol. But it's still really nice to see.
>Doris Day sent me an extra pic besides the two I sent---although I am now being told they are all secretarial. :(
>I sent a photo to Robbie Coltrane---non HP! My photo was sent back unsigned, BUT I was sent two, authentic, pre-signed photos instead!
>Richard Gere kept my photo but sent one of him from the movie set of Hachiko, of him with Hachiko the dog, which he signed!
>Ray Bradbury signed my stuff and sent a booklet which he initialled and he also doodled on my envelope---which I have seen him do for others.
>Tony Bennett kept my photo and sent his---the same one---back personalized. Probably a copyright thing.
>Arlene Dahl signed my stuff and sent a postcard that she personalized on the front, and then wrote a note on the back, which she signed.
>Brigitte Bardot signed my stuff, and kept one of my photos, but sent me a magazine and a sticker.
>I sent Nancy Kovack a request with a SASE and photo to the addy in the US. It came back from Italy. She carefully wrapped it in a Disney poster, which she had turned inside out, and addressed it herself, and then paid for the postage to mail it back to me. Oh, and she personalized it in beautiful handwriting.
>Geoffrey Rush personalized my photo, and then wrote a note on the back, which he signed.
>I mailed a request to Hugh Jackman in Australia. They kept my photo and sent me back an AP, along with about six photos. The photos are really beautiful, but I have to admit I would prefer his autograph.
>Jim Belushi kept my photo and sent his---the same one---back personalized. Probably copyright again.
>Patti Page signed my two photos and also sent one of hers. She personalized all of them.
>Jaclyn Smith personalized one of my photos, kept one, and sent another one in its place---a much nicer one---that she also personalized.
>Aaron Eckhart signed all my photos, all with a different personalization, and also sent his own that he also personalized.
>This one is kind of funny. I sent a request to Kurt Russell, and I got back a beautiful photo of Goldie Hawn that she personalized! My Kurt Russell photos were no where to be seen, lol!
>Millvina Dean not only signed my photo but sent me a handwritten note that she also signed.
>Peter Breck sent the personalized photo I requested and he also signed one I sent, and gave me this really beautiful sketch someone had done of him.
>John Corbett personalized my photo, and he sent his CD that he also personalized.
>Janis Paige personalized my two photos and wrote me a really nice note and signed it.
>Bryan Cranston wrote me a little note.
>John Forsythe signed my two photos, and sent me an extra photo and autographed it.
>Chad Everett sent me his photo which he personalized, and he wrote me really nice note and signed it.

So, I guess it does happen a fair little bit. This of course is out of 174 autographs. So, know to expect the unexpected! :)

Yes quite a few times. A few examples are:

Beth Tweddle - She wrote me a long letter answering all my questions, giving me tips on my gymnastics :)
Juila Winter - She sent me 3 signed and personalised pictures and wrote me a lovely card answering my questions.
Jorge Garcia - I wrote to him twice and both times he sent me a handwritten letter answering my questions.
Savannah Outen - She sent me the loveliest message on youtube and included a sticker with her signed picture.
Sir Purr - I'd been trying him for 4 years before finally getting him. He sent me 2 signed pictures and a bookmark.
Alan Carr - I went to his book signing and he signed my book and leaflet, as well as my university book!
Scout Taylor-Compton - Sent me a letter, stickers and a lolly with her signed picture.
Bowling for soup - Sent me stickers and guitar picks with their signed picture.
Darryl Fitton - Sent me 3 signed pictures.

:D It's happened to me a few times, too...

I sent Lance Bass a photo to sign, and he signed it, and added a signed Playbill. Coby Bell sent a signed photo, plus a hand-written and hand-signed letter. Nicholas D'Agosto sent a signed photo plus a typed letter that he signed and added a few hand-written comments to...and Melinda Doolittle sent a signed photo, and two weeks later, another signed photo arrived out of the blue!

This happened to me quite a few times. Celebrities who send out a photo instead of signing index cards. The best thing I got was when I wrote to Paul Henning and he sent me a book.

I've had a guitarist write me a letter and included a guitar pick he used :mrgreen:. Needless to say, I was a very happy bunny.

I've had this happen to me ALL the time. Like my recent Matthew Modine successes, he sent me an additional NINE extra photos and cards! I looked the cards up on Ebay and they are going for upwards of $50.00! :shock: I'd never sell them though. :lol: There just to cool. 8)

I'm waiting very very eagerly for a response from him :) :) :) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yeah, it happens on most of my TTM successes. I only send an index card but they nearly all have sent me a signed picture in addition so that's cool.
