My question is, especially to those who have tried both methods, is do you send a sharpie when you are sending to the venue? If not, is it likely someone in their crew would carry one for autograph purposes? I tried it a few times but the letter becomes bulky and cost of stamp doubles. Plus thats alot of sharpies!

Your input it appreciated!

No. They will have one. (It will be more expenisve on your part if you do..) but no you dont have to.

I wouldnt because they always have something,worst case they sign in ballpoint pen.I only sent a sharpie once and she signed it with her own diff color sharpie anyways so i dont bother and it does make it bulky and could even potentially get broken and leak inside the envelope. Plus like you said sharpies cost about a dollar each so thats another expence right there.

I don't. Usually the person will have the right color sharpie that will look best on your picture I always try to send a light colored picture though, just incase they only have a black sharpie lol. I'm always afraid of them signing it in black on a dark park of the picture. It's only happened a few times though.

Awesome good to know, thanks for all the input!

I guess it depends on the situation.
I have in the past received autographs signed in pen and I hated it.
I resent to that person and asked to sign in marker, which she did.
But there have been times where I have included the sharpies myself.
For example, I wanted my TWISTED SISTER LP signed in PINK to match the artwork, so I enclosed a Pink Sharpie with my request and I got just that. There was another time where I sent a record with 3 girls on the cover all in different color dresses and I wanted them to all sign in the same colors as thier dresses so i included 3 markers and asked for just that. It didnt seem to be a problem, I got what I wanted. So I guess it depends on the situation.

well I Guess since he wanted a certain color, then YES send a marker but they can get expensive if you send a sharpie with every request so its up 2 you

yeah sounds expensive. BTW, where did you send for Twisted Sister? I would do anything to have a signed CD!!
