Jimmy Carter Success

I sent two photos to the address listed on the site, which is The Carter Center in Atlanta. I sent 2 photos (one of Jimmy Carter and one of Mrs. Carter), a letter of request and a SASE. I mailed my package on July 20, 2015. Around August 1st, Mr. Carter announced that he was battling brain cancer and would be going through treatment for the next 5 months. I received both photos signed on October 13, 2015. Another member here posted that he had received a letter stating that Mr. Carter would not be signing any more due to his health issues. That means that what I received was among some of the last signatures that he signed. He signed in a silver pen and Mrs Carter signed in a fine line Sharpie. You can see the tell tale Sharpie coloration angled in the light. I also went online and looked up both of their signatures to verify their authenticity. Rosalynn's is just the same as it was in the 1960s. Very fine penmanship from her.
This was my first time sending anything off to be signed. I am so pleased to have gotten these signatures. I actually have something signed by a freakin' President! That is so cool.

Great success! I got him a few years ago! You could have also left the envelope with no stamps as presidents (past and present) get free postage for life

Hmmm. But how would the postman and the people that work at the mail centre know that the letters are from the president?

They put a sticker on it saying postage and fees paid for like this (this is my envelope from 2012):

I see. That's quite amazing. I never knew that.
