My worst was not really the actor's fault. I thought I was sending to Sir Christopher Lee as it showed an actor with the name Christopher Lee was appearing in a play in New York. I rushed and sent out a letter, about a month or so later I saw the SASE come back and was really excited when opening it - when I did it , it was from some other Christopher Lee, pretty much mocking my letter and saying all the cast enjoyed reading it, also received a signed photo from him. That was ripped up and put in the bin, I remember being really angry about it and considered stopping collecting. I guess it's technically my own fault but I just wish I hadn't sent it.

I haven't gotten one and wished i hadn't but i have regretted not getting one. A few years ago dave matthews was in West Palm Beach, FL to play a show and we were going to it. So a day or two before the show me and my dad went to this ice cream shop we always go to that is right across from the ritz carlton. while there we ran into dave matthews and talked to him for a while. i guess it was such a suprise we didn't think to get the camera out of the car and get a pic with him after we finished our ice cream or to get something signed. i still regret that to this day.

I regret all the requests i have sent that i never got anything back and there has been plenty,lol But autograph collecting is like buying a lottery ticket you can't win if you don't try.

I would have to say sending to william shatner. never got anything back from that guy

Oh, man. I have a Death on the Nile mini-poster signed by two of the three (no Bette Davis, which is the most valuable of course). I feel your pain.

DITTO! I kick myself so many times for not taking an hour or so and putting a request together for many people who have passed away.

I don't have any regrets about sent requests, but I do have a few regrets about wishing I'd sent to people who are no longer with us.

The only request I regret sending is the one I sent to Will Ferrell. It came to my attention only after I sent that he doesn't sign TTM, generally. Oh well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Have you ever written to anyone for an autograph or purchased one and then wished you hadn't?
This has happened to me twice! I purchased a personalised autograph from the Katie Price (Jordan) official website in 2008 as I was a big fan of hers back when she was with Peter Andre! Now, after the way she's behaved recently, I hate the sight of it and I regret buying it! I also purchased an autograph from Danielle Lloyd's website just before the Celebrity Big Brother racism scandal! I actually threw that one away at the time!!

Am I the only one or has this happened to anyone else?
