Can you send a piece of paper to be signed instead of a photo? i like to have them on paper and don't know if this will be okay as i have never sent for any autographs, the ones that i have are all in person.

Thank You.

Yes, you can. Many people send index cards which are 3x5 or 6x4 pieces of white card (sometimes lined) to be signed. They're more professional looking that paper but still have that white/plain look so you can see the autograph well. You can pick them up in most stationery shops.

You can, I would just tell the person you've enclosed the paper for them to sign

You can send anything you want. But the question is: Will they sign it?

Because of the growing threat of identity theft, I would advise you not to send a piece of paper or even an index card alone. It would be better to send a smaller photo (4x6 or 5x7) and include an index card with it. At least you have given them a choice as to whether they want to sign the photo, the index card, or both. You can print out your own photos at home or at kiosks in local stores. Printing out 4x6 photos at the kiosks are really cheap.

better off sending an index card... better to display imo.

some celebrities might actually prefer to sign stuff like that... they know it wont be resold like an expensive item would.

thats usually the big named celebritites tho.

Hey :)
Like the others have said, of corse you can send a piece of paper/card to be signed.
Index cards can look better than just a plain piece of paper and they are very cheap to buy.
Good luck with your requests {up}

Thanks for all your replies. I will send a photo as well, to be safe. The reason i wanted it on paper is because i like to frame them with other peoples from the same film and then just have a small poster of the film in with it.

Thank You :)

If you check out Packrat's topic on framing autographs, he does the same thing and they look very professional that way :)

Sorry, but you got the wrong guy. It wasn't my topic. I don't send out index cards. It's just not my thing -- I think they are very bland and would much rather have an autograph on a 4x6 photo if I'm low on funds. Like I said in my previous post, printing out 4x6s are so cheap it's pathetic. I usually print out 5x8s or 8x10s though. Still pretty inexpensive.
