I wouldn't.
I might as well print off an autographed picture from a Google Image search lol. At least I'd get to choose which photo I get :razz:

Today I got President Jimmy Carter. Iused the address in the database. Mailed on 9/21/12 and got back on 10/24/12. Just thought Id let you know the address in database works. Its a PP or AP but its still nice picture to get from ex PRESIDENT. Like they say its not real but still cool to have.

Only thing that counts is an actual hand signed item from the actual person.

I kinda agree with you on this. I try to send letters only to those people who are considered to sign authentically. So I have only sent 9 or 10 letters by now.

If I would receive an obvious sec, I would throw it away, no doubt about it. PP and AP, on the other hand, I would probably save (not together with real signatures though) just for the sake of nice pictures, but since I don't write to likes of John Travolta and such, I doubt i'll ever get one.

Definitely no doubt that PP/AP/Sec are not autographs. Thats not even up for debate.
Sorry OP.

The higher end collectors check or know if its real. I bet you will get alot of differing opinions and its up to YOU to decide if Your happy with the signed pic. you get.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I just wanted to know more or less what people do on here.
I really like the authentic ones, I have gotten a few pre-prints and autopens, but I don't plan on giving them away or throwing them away, maybe store them in a different place from my authentic ones.

Thanks everyone for answering!
