Re: # of items to send

I would never send more than 2 items/pictures to be signed.
I do usually send two items (such as a DVD cover/inlay and a favourite picture), or say I write to a musician and I've seen them live then I send two pictures that I've taken at their gig.

I also include in my letter that I have sent two photos and would be grateful if they would sign one and add "or even both of them"... So hopefully they realise that I'm not a dealer, just a fan that would be happy with just one signature.

I only send one photo. I'm happy just having the one autograph! I do have multiples but that's only if the celeb has sent me an extra photo or if I went on to meet someone I'd previously written to! :)

It's not so much about being greedy, it's about taking the chance the individual will see you as being a dealer, even if you write a real nice letter. As a general rule I will only send one item per request unless I know in advance that they will sign multiples. If I don't know or am unsure, I only send one. I can always wait a year or so and send again if I want something different signed. While a year can seem like a long time to wait, there are plenty of things I can do to keep occupied in the meantime.

That, to me, is what causes celebs to either a.) send out secretarials, b.) charge, or c.) not sign at all.

I usually send one, two if I can't decide between the photos, or if someone has starred in 2 roles that I really loved. I think the most I'd ever send out is 3 though, I consider any more than 3 to be greedy.

I usually send 2. If it happens to be someone who has been in more than one show I love, like Jewel Staite or Morena Bacarrin were in Firefly as well as Stargate, then I have sent 3 (2 photos and an index card). I've never sent more than 3.
