Do you keep pre-prints or do you throw them away?

Unread post by margotchanning »

I have been collecting autographs for many years and I've never written or emailed studiofanmail as they are notorious for sending out preprints. Personally I don't think preprints are worth the paper they are printed on as it's not a real autograph and you haven't got the satisfaction of knowing a celebrity actualy touched and signed the photo you recieve. It will also be completely worthless in years to come as it's not a real signature.

I just wondered what other people's views are on this subject? {thumb2}

I don't really like recieving them, but I do keep them if I recieve them. Also, StudioFanMail aen't just notorious for sending out PP's, they only send out PP's. They are a company that works with many celebrities, and never send out anything but PP's :(

Sometimes you might even be lucky enough to recieve a secratarial or auto-pen :D :D

I hate SFM! If celebrities employ them to deal with their fanmail then why bother writing to that celebrity? it's obvious they're never going to read the letter you send them. :cry:

SFM send out hundreds every day though. I think PP's have to be pretty rare to be worth something.

Oh sorry :) You're right though. Some of the Warner Bros & Fox studios preprints from the 30s/40s of people like Ginger Rogers & Lucille Ball are worth a few pounds

I don't keep them. I can print out facsimile autographs sitting where I am right now.
I'm also a portrait artist!

Yeah I do actually keep all of mine. For the life of me I don't know why. But I do.

When i do receive them, they go into a larger picture slip with the other pre-prints i have. Then i store them away in the back of my autograph binder!! I don't know why i keep them, but i do! :lol:
