I ALWAYS send at least 4 photos with my requests. Some celebs will send their own but I prefer to send some just in case. If you wan the celeb to send you a photo be sure and include a 9x12 SASE so they can send you one. {thumb2}

ALWAYS at least 4 photo's?
@lozz.09 It's a good idea to include a picture with your request, especially if you are planning to send via venue (like a movie set), because the celebrity might not have any photo's available to send to you. Or if you can't find a photo to send, you can include an index card, so at least they will have something to sign and return to you.

Hello,
It is not essential that you send a photo, but I prefer to just in case. I never send more than 2 photo's as I don't want to seem rude or to put the celebrity off. If you can't find a picture of a celebrity you can make a request for one in one of the HQ Picture Shops on the Graphics Shop board here:
viewforum.php?f=145
Or you can also just send an index card which a lot of people like to do. I only send index cards as a last resort as I much prefer signed pictures, but I still think an index card is better than nothing.
It's up to you if you want to put some cardboard in, I never do but very often the celebrity will put some in for me themselves.
Good luck with your requests

No problem
You may know them better as record cards or study/flash cards. They are basically just a 5"x3" piece of card. You can pick up packs of 100 for very cheap. Some people prefer to send these for different reasons, but I only send these when I have run out of printer ink so can't print out any pictures. It's totally up to you what you choose to send though
Here's some pictures if you still don't know what I'm talking about:
