Whole Cast- etiquette?

This is the first time I'm sending off a poster hoping for the whole cast to sign, but how should I go about it? Should I address it to one person at a time and send it over and over? Or do I address it to the cast and ask they all autograph? Or do I address to one cast member and ask that they pass it around (which seems rude but if it works, it works.)

To be specific, it's the cast of True Blood I'll be asking for autographs.

Sorry if it's a repeat of an older post- I looked through some of the threads but didn't find the same question.

I would just send it to one person, then once you get it back, send to the next person, always a good idea to insure these types of requests or put delivery confirmation on it, so you know it gets to each person safely.

Aww! That's going to take so much longer! Oh well. Thanks for your help!

Haha, well it's highly unlikely that just sending it to one cast member and expecting them to pass it around wouldn't happen. Actors and co-stars rarely see each other off-set due to their busy schedules. I know a in-person collector who is selling some TB cast-signed posters, but be prepared to pay a hefty price for them, their not cheap. :neutral:

I have tried this before but not had much luck: Some shows have PPs that they can send out.

But when I tried, I did a general "Dear Cast" letter. Opened with general comments on the show/characters then addressed a few sentances to individual people. Example: "David: I love how you bring (your character) to life. I LOVED the episode when you____. I quoted your lines for days." Then go one to the other cast members saying favorite moments with their characters/why you like them, etc.

As I said, I have only gotten PPs that way and many non responces. I might do what Ryan recomends by sending individually. Yes it will take a while and I don't know how good any of the True Blood cast is with their mail but it might be your best shot.

I figured as much but I was really, REALLY crossing my fingers hoping the answer would be different. Darn.

I've seen the already signed posters- the one I'm going to send, already autographed I saw for sale for 230$- but I really want the fun of sending and waiting and checking the mail over and over and finally getting it- then, I guess repeat, til I've got them all. Like vampire autograph pokemon.
