Would you send out an autograph picture to get another on it

I have a Bill Engvall autograph on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour cd cover and I am thinking of sending the same cover out to Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White and Larry The Cable Guy to get them to sign it so I can have all 4 guys on it.
I was just wondering if you guys would do it? I have Bill's autograph on 2 other things if I lost it.

I know Jeff Foxworthy is very good with his fanmail and would probably be happy to sign it for you. I did get Larry TTM authentically a couple of years ago, but more recently I've seen gim send out pre-prints. Not sure on Ron White though.
What some of my friends do in these cases is first write them a letter asking if you can send a photo already signed by Bill and have them sign it as well. That way they know to be looking for it instead of it getting buried for months under their fanmail pile. Also include your email address, as usually their agent or manager will contact you via that to let you know if ot's okay to send it.

It is always a chance that you won't ever see the item again, so it is a risk.
I'd do a lot of research to see how good they are with fanmail. Basically, you have to decide if you want to risk it, knowing that you might not get it back. I had a project like that a couple years ago and it went great--better than I was hoping for but I know of others who got the photo signed by one or two and sent it off to the next one and never saw their photo again.

Ya I am pretty sure Jeff would return it and I had emailed Ron and while back and his sister said he signed so I may email them and tell them I am sending it. Larry is really the one I am worried about

It's always a risk sending items like this through the mail. This is a big risk/reward hobby though. I have sent many photos like that through the mail in the past. Just don't send something that you may lose. Sending it by Priority Mail with delivery confirmation may help.
