I have. Written to loads of celebs in the past and still waiting rather they replied and sent my photos to someone Else or the post man has robbed them, so if had extra photos not what a celeb usually sends please look on the back I have name and address on the back on them, I really need them back. As they for presents ect I b greatfuly. I know some celebs take ages as they are busy. But the other day I noticed the postman open some of my replys

Well i would be getting on the horn with the postal service.if the case is that your postman is opening your mail, cause if i am right a postal worker is not supposed to be opening other people's mail. it is basically invasion of privacy.

Im starting to wonder myself. I havent received a single photo since 2/9 /13. Thats really weird because I have some out since August of 2012. I have seen posts to a couple people I sent to.

Opening someone's mail is a federal offense and ANY postal worker who opens mail is a BIG fool. I would call the post office immediately and if that doesn't get results, call the state office. As far as other people getting your photos, that's got to be the longest shot I ever heard. I stopped writing actors and musicians because most of them don't reply and when they do, it's usually fake. The only sports figure to send me a PP was Dan Marino and only 6 have refused me all together. Even Joe Montana signed twice (in '07) TTM.

I'm stilling waiting for Pauley Perrette and a book I sent back in 07, luckily I've found ways to get in contact with the person I sent the book to give it to who I wanted to autograph it. So I know the feeling.

I have heard this so many times on here over the years, People wondering why they don't get very much back and thinking the mailman is stealing their autographs Its easy to blame the mailman but in reality you just are not going to get back a large percentage of requests you send out that's just how this hobby is,Its possible in some cases the mailman or someone working for the post office is stealing mail but its probably not super common and we have all thought it at some point when we don't get autographs for awhile but you said your last request had been opened by your mailman but he obviously delivered it to you so you have been getting some stuff back and how do you know it just wasn't sealed properly in the first place ? I have a simple solution I have done myself a few times to test my mailman,go to a diff city and mail yourself a envelope exactly like the sase you use for your requests and inside write on a piece of paper something like this was a test to see if you are opening my mail which is against the law and you are being watched or something like that and see if it gets delivered to you sealed and if so youre probably okay and if he is stealing your autographs he will surely take the bait and you will know because you wont have got it or you will get it opened and either way you win because he is either honest and you get it sealed or he takes it and he knows you are onto him and he will be afraid to steal anymore of your mail from that point on because he might be being watched.

I disagree with the comment about actors and musicians ,Yes a lot do not reply but I disagree with the fake part personally because I have gotten back over 500 autographs from actors mostly and some musicians and out of all of them I got 1 secretarial and a few autopens and all the rest were authentic and signed by the person I sent to. Maybe you just had bad experiences or you sent to the few super famous actors that don't sign fanmail because I have got back authentic autographs from tv stars,movie stars and some are lesser known and lots were pretty famous and they were all authentic. But I do agree with the fact that you don't get a lot back but that's just the chance you take and I find it worth it when I do get back really good ones and you always need to send your own photo and sase.

I'm not some newbie that just sends out letters, johnnylightning, as I've been doing this for 30 years. I ALWAYS follow protocol, send my OWN material and always include a SASE, even though EVERYONE I write to is way richer than I am. What I mean by fakes are PP's, AP's and secretarials. This is from my perspective and experience. The actors and musicians I wrote that I did get fakes from (Metallica, anyone represented by SFM, ect) were people I used to admire. I understand they're busy and all, so I stopped writing them because of their success rate versus athletes. Of course, this is getting WAY off target and I really love how you call me out instead of chiming in with your rationale of the original post. I NEVER wrote super-famous actors and the musicians I liked, I ran out of long ago. I was just stating fact that I've had more success from athletes, that's all. Maybe you get a good response because most movie and TV productions are done in Canada, but I only write to people in America (easier than getting foreign stamps). The lesser known ones I wrote were always groundbreakers or older icons, but most of them are dead now. Plus, I don't waste time watching TV or a lot of movies, but I love sports. So, know your target before you fire.

Yesterday I had two replies with nothing inside and the back was open I forgot to add that frist so if its postman who is it ? I live flat my letterbox is a box Connor door and noone can get it out

....still trying to find the feedback in this post.
