I do it a lot... its a cheap alternative to printing out pictures and sending them, and it proves you're actually a fan, as you own something of theirs. I find the success rate is about the same. i mostly send the insert with like the scene selection list out, though. I mean, does it really make a difference and is it THAT important to you to be watching a dvd and want to know what the name of said scene is? they all have them at the beginning anyways, if you want to restart or skip to a certain scene, you can just look there. that way you have your cover still, and aren't really out anything if they keep your insert. whether you send a picture, or dvd sleeve or action figure or baseball or anything pretty much has the same success rate if you send it, as long as you pay for return postage. they aren't going to read your letter and go.. "oh, so and so sent me the cover from this dvd i'm in, i'm not going to sign it, but if it was a picture, i would" the only risk you run of this, is like for instance i sent to josh hutcherson the cover from RV and he sent just a signed picture back, like in a case where he signed 500 pictures or something ahead of time and the secretary just reads your letter and inserts a picture in there. even if you get a PP back they usually send your dvd thing back unsigned, but if they do keep it, no worries, right?
