Ask For Personalization?

[MW1221]

My friend asked me if you need to ask for personalizations. Do you?

[cowboys]

I don't generally ask for personalisations - I would assume that most celebs would tend to try and personalise regardless, to limit the chance of the autograph ending up on eBay.

The only time I have specifically ASKED for personalisation, is when the autograph I'm after is for a gift (ie. for my Mum, or my girlfriend).

I've gotten personalizations three times when I only asked just once.

Most celebs will personalize by default nowadays.

I've started asking now just incase cos I remember someone got a signed pic of Georgie Henley and theirs wasn't personalised cos they didn't ask but most other people got a personalised one cos they did ask.

Hey MW1221

Like cowboys said, I think most celebs personalise by default nowadays to limit the chance of their auto being sold

There is an exception to this though when celebs pre-sign a whole pile of photographs to leave with their agent (e.g Ewan McGregor). That way you will almost always get an unpersonalised pic.

However, on the other hand I don't think there it would be rude to request a personalised autograph - as long as you ask politely

Hope this helps!

heya all i agree with Ian on this one! When i write to celebs i ask for a signed picture and then if possible could they dedicate it to me!

Sum of them have dedicated them to me, whih is good because they could prove that the celebrity has read your letter!!!

Interesting point.

I started to ask for a dedication, and have had a 90% sucess.

Ian- Ewan Mc Gregor does sometimes dedicate the member webkin got a dedicated pcture from him.

How is the best way to ask for them to personalize it? Do you just go and ask them to, or is there a way of wording it that you all have found successful?

I think as long as you sound nice and polite whatever you say will be great.

Personally, I don't ask for them to personalize it and a lot of the time it comes back personalized, I think it's a nice added touch.
Although, I do wish I had asked Gene Simmons to personalize but even then, there's nothing saying that he would have

Hi James

I did say

I take your point though, nothing is absolute in the world or autograph collecting
