Hi,
thanks a lot for those hints, its interesting to see an international inside perspective. In Germany, using short, precise texts of appreciation and asking for an autograph often works better than writing a long letter. Obviously people put a lot of effort in it, but sometimes I feel like the stars themselves prefer (at least in Germany) that one doesnt 'prattle' a lot. Thanks again for those hints and I hope Ill have luck with my first international VV requests :).

I noticed one person say they always ask to have it personalised, but I thought this was cheeky to ask. Do you all ask to personalise the autographs and how do you word it? I wouldn't want to think I was been rude!

Am just wondering is the band famous in the UK? I presuming it's a US band but obviously not the Jonas Brothers. I love the Jonas Brothers!
You could write something similar to this: "Could you please personalize the photo to ______? I would really appreciate it!" Not cheeky at all ;-)

You won't believe how many two sentence requests I receive. Unfortunately, many people want to get items signed to sell on eBay, a lot of tour managers are aware of that, as I am one myself.
I think we should put all those spineless eBayers in one large bin and start the incinerator!

Been awhile since I've been on here...enjoying your posts...Jonas Brothers...not even close! Me being a female...total 180 degree opposite! Proud robust Male people...I guess my moniker is feminine...should have consulted some people before posting it!

Send me a PM and the first 25 people that do, get my management address and name of the band and I'll send you a signed promo 8x10 (one only, I won't accept anything to be signed)...but you need to include the SASE or $5.00 cash ( I will accept UK, French, German, and Polish stamps in trade for mailing from the USA) for postage if overseas!!!!

I was just wondering, what would happen if I was sending to a band, and I sent a picture of the band for them all to sign, and a picture of each individual member for them to sign. That would be more that two pictures, but what would happen then?

LOL

If it were the Jonas bros or Miley or any of the teen crush performers the poor girl will never be left alone again.
I totally agree with that.
Yeah Ryan but no everyone would do that ;) Probably many of them would write a PM asking if IHeartAutographs can get them a signed photo of the whole band.

Ummmm, I wasn't asking for a free signed photo. I'd be more than happy to send photos, SASE letter as always if it's a band I know. {up}

I handwrite my letters on 8x11 paper and generally use both sides, I inlcude my own photos and a SASE and ALWAYS ask for my items to be personalized to me. That way performers know I'm not going to resell them. {up} Enjoyed reading the info you posted IHeartAutographs. I am curious though why you won't reveal which band you help manage. :neutral: It's not the Jonas Brothers is it!?!?! :shock: :lol:
