In a way, yes. Think about it along the lines of "Hi, can you send me XXXX's autograph please? I'm too lazy to write a letter". Its the same kinda thing as not sending SASEs or IRCs. Just comes across badly.

(Its not the same as emails, as some have been set up for that purpose, but thats neither here nor there)

How did you get that number?! :shock:

you should never call a celebrity, that is an invasion of privacy, and borders along the lines of stalking.

I got the phone number out of a phone directory. As some have probably seen in the Feedback section that I collect autographs of Canadian politicians and after a bit of research I had found a phone number and address for the former Prime Minister John N Turner. I called and we spoke for about five minutes. He said he was flattered that I wanted him in my collection and would be glad to sign one if I sent him a letter to his house with my address. I did that and about a month later he sent me a signed photo. I have posted the picture he sent me.

I used Myspace to ask Blue Demon Jr. about getting his autograph and said for me to call his office in Mexico City. I didn't because my Spanish isn't that good and international phone call are expensive.
