Personally, I never send my own photos, except when it's via venue. {thumb2} I just love the photos the celebrities send out as it's usually a rare pic which you can't find online (for example I've never seen my Charlie Cox, Ben Barnes or Jean Reno pics online

) and it's a nice surprise.
I think you don't
have to send a perfect Kodak printed glossy photo to each celebrity as it firstly can cost a lot and you're not guarenteed to get it back signed or even back at all.

Of course, if I were to send my own pics I would have love to get them all professionally printed but that's not possible for me.

So, when I send my own photos via venue, I try to print it for as cheap as possible (I will never sell them anyways so it's just for personal use...) on the computer on a thick, glossy-type pape (as I did for my Paul Bettany autograph

). Or, magazine photos always looks brilliant in my opinion. {thumb2}
Lastly, it's not nessassary to print
8x10 (A4) sized photos, -
8x10 is smaller than A4as Sammya, I always print nice 4x6".
Good luck collecting,
Lizanne
Obviously, this works for you so don't think I'm slating you by pointing these things out {thumb2}
Firstly, A cheap printed photo will fade over time and may take the signature with it. If you're looking for your autographs to last, always send a very high quality photo.
And magazine photo's are the worst things to get signed as the paper contains acid, which will make the signature gradualy disappear over a few years.
Basically, what I'm saying is if you're looking to make your autographs last, always go for quality
