I am new to this.I don't have photos and I don't have a strong need for photos to be sent back.What should i send for them to sign?Just a piece of paper? nothing and leave it up to them?

Send a lor and you might be lucky if they send you something back, it could be a print though, you could send an index card, that's about as basic as you can get.

Send whatever you want signed.

You don't want photos, so what do you want?

Our street has a slotbox down the street not a mail box at house.Signed picture wouldn't fit short of getting bent.So I'm trying to come up with a simple alternative to avoid any return being damaged from being too big to fit properly.As i have a postal worker who fails at what shape fits in what box.

Pictures come in multiple sizes. There are many who prefer 4x6s to 8x10s.

There are also those who collect signed index cards, signed business cards, signed baseballs (even from non-players; they're easy to acquire & display).

Like I said, it depends on what you want signed.

Judging by your description, I'm assuming you live in a fairly small town. A friend of mine in a town like that had a similar problem with the PO shoving everything into the box--"do not bend" or not. So she called her postmaster & explained, and every large envelope she gets now (regardless of whether it actually is indicated) is treated like a package. She gets her packages delivered to her porch--I don't know if you get that or if you have to pick them up, but, either way, that is an option.

I live in a state capital city.However it's a housing community so we have slot boxes rather than boxes at the house.It's small enough that netflix envelopes get bent.May just do index cards or something like that.As i don't have a wall i can put stuff on.

You shouldn't be putting them on a wall anyway.

What's with the recent trend of people who want to destroy their autographs?

Anyway, have you even tried talking to the PO?

Putting them on the wall doesn't necessarily ruin your autographs, it depends on how you do it and where you place them (direct sunlight is a bad idea.) a brief research is recommended if you choose frame them.

You can always send a smaller picture, I prefer mine 6x4, perhaps you can't put them on the wall now, but what about in the future? A piece of cardboard or something a bit stronger can be used to stop pictures from being bent.
