Got him about 3 yrs ago. Sent an item to his wife constance towers along with a john gavin photo and asked her if she could have him sign it he did. Guess I lucked out.

You might not have gotten a success because you're supposed to send to his wife Constance Towers asking for her autograph but also to throw in John Gavin's as well. Another reason why it might not have been a successful attempt is because Mr. Gavin refuses to sign photos of him from the film Psycho, but for all I know perhaps it's true that he is no longer signing. I hope that this is not the case as I'm a fan and I haven't sent him a request yet.

Sad to see this. I wrote to his wife but only requested her signature. Later I sent to him at the same address. I had not seen the bit about him not signing anything from Phycho at the time (only weeks later)
That would have been almost 2 years ago now and never received anything.
