Thank you letter?

Hello,
I'm pretty new to this. I don't know if it will turn into a major hobby, but I can see how it could be addictive... :)
I sent two photos and a letter to Eva Marie Saint and received back a short letter from her and two extra photos. I didn't know if it was customary to send a thank you note to someone who has clearly gone above and beyond anything I ever thought I would get back?

I've sent several! Betty White, Jan Pearson, Robert Fyfe & Jean Ferguson! It doesn't hurt to show your appreciation if someone's exceeded your expectations! I wouldn't send thank you's to everyone. Just the people who have sent very personal replies! :D

Yes, I'd say send thank you letters to the most personal replies, or the people you really admire the most. I mean, it's totally up to you, but it'll cost a lot to send out a thank you to everyone!

I sent a thank you card to Barbara Rush, since she personally wrote a note to me, and Joseph Culp, because he sent along 4 additional photos.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, I was thinking it might be nice since she took the time to send something extra. I just didn't know because I was searching around here and some people were saying not to send more mail items because it clogs up their mailboxes and may turn them off from signing...

Well, if you ask, within your thank you note/card, for MORE signed stuff, that might turn them off. If you're just telling them how much their reply meant, I don't see why that would be a bad thing.

Thank you letters are a great idea. I've sent a few to people that have sent me extra stuff.

I did sent many in past...Usually I send a thank you note when something really touches me, maybe a letter or quick note. It's nice to show how much you appreciate it ;)

I've sent a couple mainly to ones that have gone above and beyond. Like mark harmon and gonzalo menendez, taylor lautner criminal minds cast....
