Worst Success is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.

Success is defined as..

1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
3. a successful performance or achievement.

Just because you get something back doesn't make it a success. If you get an autograph, there's a success.

A pre-print, autopen = failure if you are autograph collecting.

I guess mine would be Ewan McGregor.

I wrote to him and got a message back in my sase saying he was unavailbile to sign due to filming...Thats fair enough.

I kept reading and at the bottom it says "he hopes you will accept this photo"

I checked the envelope again...BUt there was no photo :/

hmm..... :?

I wrote to Richard Hammond via Top Gear and recieved a terrible ink jet PP of all four presenters. It wasn't even on photo paper so got completely bent in the mail and to top it all I got a snooty letter from a secratary saying she was unable to forward my letter to Richard Hammond {down}

I'd even rather have gotten an 8X10 PP than a bent post card!
No kidding!!! I mean at least an 8x10 would be a picture and chances are that it wouldn't be ruined. The postcard I got was bent and had a white strip across he top lip so she looks like she has a mustache.

Carrie Underwood, I sent a letter, 2 pictures and a SASE. I got back that postcard she's sending out. But I didn't get my pictures or SASE back....ticked me off.

I think my worst success was Dan Quayle. He personalized the photo to "Christian" instead of Christopher.

I did get a replacement, by the way.

My success from Christopher Paolini. Actually the success itself would have been one of my best, but when I got the envelope it was very badly damaged, soaked completely wet. So one autograph was totally washed out, one was barely visible and one was visible, but the paper itself had been totally wet.
