I have previously sent DVD inserts of Takin Over The Asylum & Casanova to David Tennant (when he was in theatre) and was delighted when they came back signed & personalised.
Are you speaking of the outer "wrapper" or the outer plastic sheath that the DVD inserts go into? I
DO remove the "wrapper." I just don't open those pesky seals around the edges and remove the paper insert
under the plastic sheath. I get the celeb to sign that plastic sheath that's permanently fixed to the entire DVD container. I just wanna make sure we're both on the same page. Thanks for the comments! (BTW, my wife LOVES "Dr. Who" Is Tennant still signing?)
Forgive me. I thought you were referring to the wrapper. I confess, I've never seen a DVD case that was sealed this way. Obviously they all have plastic covers on over the paper cover, but all mine are easily removable, without any sealing? Opening the case (to remove the cover) doesnt seem to split any factory sealing that you speak of.
And yes, David is still signing, however via his agents address (he's not in theatre at the moment). If you send an SASE he will send a signed Doctor Who postcard. Your wife's name will be added by a secretary, most likely. You'll have more chance getting a 100% authentic sending your own photo, but obviously the wait will be longer
