It seems like the ones we really want take the longest. That's all part of the hobby and what makes it exciting though. Good luck! {thumb2}

It depends on who you write to, if the person gets lots of fan mail, you can wait 3 months to even 2 years! :shock: I know someone waited for 2 years to get an autograph from Fantastic 4 actor Chris Evans! :o So don't give up yet, I'm sure you'll soon get something back! {thumb2} Two months is not that long, so don't worry! ;-)

Good luck!! {up}

i appreciate your response {up} . i try to stay motivated and some items i get back. but when i send one item out a month prior and another item two weeks ago and i get the item from two weeks ago before i get the one from the month then its kinda discouraging. especially when the item that i want the most hasnt been sent back yet. like i said, im impatient. and when i get some of the items back as quick as i have, then i kinda got spoiled with that and i assume that all of them should be that way.

but thanks to everyones response :D !!! it helps me stay motivated and active and not feel like im wasting time and $ ;-) .

I send out quite a few requests. My longest wait was probably around 6 months but, if I really had the chance to wait that long, I'd give up after 3 years.

ON AVERAGE, a success could take anywhere from a week to 6 months.
FOR THE WAIT, It could be anywhere from 6 months to forever. Some mail you may never get back. (it's happened to me before)

I give up on it after about 4 years.

I agree with everyone. Two months is not that long. Just keep waiting and I bet they will come sooner or later.

Good Luck,
A.F.

A couple of years back, I wrote to the singer Peter Gabriel, in November 05, and got a signed postcard from him in July 06.

So at two months, you may still have a very long wait.

Agreed 2-5 months is average, but that doesn't mean you should give up after 5 months. Some autos can take years to come back.

I would say the average reply takes about 2-5 months.
