Need advice.

Thank you again for the help. I do believe I could get UK stamps in our mail offices but am not sure. I think so though, I know we can get american and it would makes sense to be able to get UK stamps here as we are both British-ish.

So you know - I have never seen a Russell Crowe autograph through the mail.

And I've tried Blanchett twice Via Venue with no success. She can be hit or miss.

Good luck in your quest.

If they don't sign it, it will still be returned, won't it? That's my main concern.

No. It all depends on the person but most people won't return it if they don't sign.

Some advice, don't ever send something that you would be heartbroken if you don't get it back.

No. If they don't sign it, sometimes it's just never returned. I've lost books (not many, but at least 4) that way. I've also lost CD booklets, and DVD covers.

The best rule in Autograph collecting is to only send what you're willing to lose.

Ah, I thought he did sign as someone on the Nottingham thread said he only signed via venue.

I also heard that Cate Blanchett did sign via venue, but I suppose it can always be hit and miss when you send to a film set, as they may or may not be there, or they may or may not hold the item until they arrive or return.

I suppose the best thing you could do, is try to get more than one copy of the book. Especially if you can buy them cheap off eBay, then if the worst comes to worst and they don't return it, you still have your book.

[Sarge_Maximus2]

Well then perhaps I can buy myself another book and then, if I do lose it, I'll have another book and a story to go with it. Thank you all again for your kind and generous advice.
