Newbie Question!

I'm kind of new to this whole business and would like advice from you guys.

I am wanting to send a letter to Roger Federer. I am aware of the process and whatnot but the question is...

Does he ACTUALLY handsign the pictures and whatnot himself? I have seen a couple pictures on here that are preprints, but one that actually looked like he signed it.

I would just really like an autograph from him. It'd make me SO happy as he is my idol. :D

from what I've seen if you request from site all you get is pre prints but someone wrote only back in aprill and he sent a hand signed.

Im not a tennis fan (dont know sod all about it lol) but im guessing the pre-prints have been sent out recently due to commitments and practice etc.

Wait untill the whole tennis thing gets abit quieter you'll have more luck, its kinda like writing to the england players during a worls cup.

what i would is request now by the site(youll probly get a pp) and then write for a hand signed at a later date

You have to realise the difference in the successes you're looking at.

The preprints came from requesting them off of a site that Federer did some promotional work for.

If you send to his address in Switzerland (look in the database for it) then you'll get a handsigned pic.

Great point! I will be sure to try his Swiss address. Thanks!
