Check and see if what addresses have been getting suggestions.
There is no size limit? I think I know what you mean.
If you don't send a picture you won't get anything back unless
they have a picture to send. Also, I don't no of any email addresses
for Ace Frehley.

I hope this helps:

First try to find an address that has been successful in the past. Research the feedback for the person(s) that you are interested in getting an autograph from. Check the address database.

Second regarding size limit that is entirely up to you. I would suggest nothing larger than an 8x10 photo (or other item) postage cost may be a concern for you. Be sure to include a SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope).

Third I do not recommend requesting thru e-mail; I have done it with mixed success, but I believe that e-mail (disregarding "spam" factor) seems too impersonal to me. I believe that I can express myself better with pen and paper and it is more personal so the person you are writing to can hold your letter in their hand. Some may disagree with me regarding e-mail requests but, everyone has his/her own viewpoint.

Finally this topic has been explored many times on the site, just take the time and do a little research
I have been asked many times about trading / selling some of my autographs. I am sorry but my collection is not and will not be for sale.

Thank you very much both of you :)
i would have researched further but I am on a work computer, which is my only internet access, so i didn't/don't have to much time to do free explorations of my own desire.
Nonetheless, all the info you both have given me was and is very helpful :)
thanks again.
all my relations, Ihuixaya
