It takes time to get pics back u just have to be patient....ive sent out alot of requests in the past few month and only received a small amount back...just takes time...

honestly? well you have to wait 3 months or longer usually, so just wait and be patient

yeah - you're not being terribly patient. But it also looks like you're betting that each venue/address is going to forward an awful lot of mail for you. If you win - meaning if they forward them all and if each star reads and responds - then you win big - but if the venue decides you're just being greedy or abusive and they don't like forwarding on 5 or 10 letters from the same guy because in truth - they aren't there to provide this service - they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts - so if they don't pass along the pile of mail - then you lose big.

For some Autographs you must wait 6 Months or more... I wait since Mai for some answers...I´ts all okay! Have a little patience! To collect Autographs is a hard Hobby!

Yes I agree with all that responded. I have some out since late march and april. Sending vv is the hardest of all. You pretty much HAVE to send a photo for them to sign plus the venue has to be willing to pass them on or hold on til star gets there.In my opinion theres to many things can go wrong. I would try TTM til you get more experience under your belt. No offense intended. Some veterans on here might be able to help you more than me.

You got back 7 since june which is actually good and the reality is you wont get most of your requests back ever. Just part of the hobby If you send requests out thinking you will get most back you are mistaken because you will be lucky to get back 1 in 5.

To be honest and I am surprised that no one picked up on this except for Gordon: A LOT of your requests are VV and just because you found the right VV address doesn't mean that you will get a success back. I mean when it comes to a agency address you can almost guarantee a success for yourself. BUT VV IS NEVER GUARANTEE 100%! (And you are also assuming that the addresses you sent to for the VV requests are correct....LOL!)

Also yes this hobby you need to have patience. Requests can take MONTHS (like 10-11 months) and YEARS even.....So get a secondary hobby

BTW Did you include a letter, postage, and a photo with ALL The VV requests?
(just wondering.)

i know it takes time for some replies but never been this long without successes, usually have a few in a month (nothing since early september)
even have some in system since 2009 when i started collecting,

updated post to include who i sent pics too
i hope i get something soon as its so disappointing when i open the mailbox and theres NOTHING

How do you know they are 100% correct?
