Dusty Rhodes Fail

[chadallen985]

OMG.. Are You Serious????

3 weeks and you haven't received anything back and you are calling this a fail???? You need to find a different hobby my friend. (A) Dusty is a working man and isnt home all that much. Do you think he sits home and waits for mail to come to him so he can sign request? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but I just cant believe you are calling this a fail, even if it is "for now." Also, 3 week turnaround is FAST for most celebs to sign TTM. I have a few items that took over a year to get back, and 1 I just got back a couple weeks ago, it took almost 2 years. Once again, because they don't sit home and sign. Some let it build up and then spend a day or 2 once a year. You need to be willing to sit and wait. Some of them you will never get back, and some will just show up out of the blue and they will make your day.

Finally, I noticed you are new to this site, so here is some advice... Take a look and figure out why you are collecting? Are you requesting TTM because you are a diehard fan of someone or are you requesting because you see other people having success... Don't request just to request. You will nejoy it more if you get the people you REALLY want.

Welcome, and Happy Collecting..

I'd give it a little longer. One of my successes took one and a half years. That is what comes with the hobby.

Before you cop an attitude, check your facts.

(A) I sent it to his work. Not his home.
(B) Based on your reply, I doubt you even know who he is or what he does.
(C) Don't tell me to figure out why I'm collecting. I'm an actual fan, not a collector.
(D) I'm not new to this website. I just never made an account until I decided to contribute. I have a life.
(E) Before his previous feedback posts were moved or removed (I can't find them), the average was a week for a return.
(F) Of every wrestler I have written to, the average time for a return (or RTS) is 3 weeks tops for active, BUSY wrestlers.

If my reply to your reply made me sound like a jerk, I couldn't care less. You shouldn't have talked to me like that.

(A) If thats the case, try sending to the WWE HQ, and see how long it takes to get your items back, LOL.
(B) Really? I have met MANY of the biggest names in professional wrestling history. Have you ever heard of Lou Thesz??? I also live by the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame thats named after Thesz and the late George Tragos, so yeah.. I know who the "American Dream" is, what he does, and have met him 3 times.
(C) Then if you're a fan, why care you calling it a "fail" after just 3 weeks. Have you ever thought that maybe he is taking time off, he is on the road, scouting, etc??? A "fan" would be understanding and willing to wait.
(D) So you just made an account, yet have been on the site? So that means you just used everyone elses hard work and time and never contributed until as of late? I'm not judging, I'm just sayin... Cause if you think I'm a jerk, I might as well sound like one.
(E) Tha means nothing in this hobby. Go back to (C)
(F) So where are you writing to, surely not the WWE. The biggest names in wrestling are the WWE. I respect some of the guys that have left the company to wrestle somewhere else, but they just arent as big as they once were. They are probably happy to get fan mail.. OR the autographs could be a sec. Not saying yours are, but just saying that is a chance. That is why 90% of my entire collection are from IP. It just hard to say you have someones autograph if you didnt see it get signed. its sad that people do that, but they do. I have learned that first hand myself.

If you ever wanna talk collections/autographs.. feel free to send me a message and we can talk. I have an insurance policy on my entire collection for just over $43 grand in value. I collect baseball, football, basketball, wrestling and olympics... and can honestly say I have never sold 1 autograph. I collect for fun... Happy Collecting.

Hi. I wasn't trying to be rude or criticise you or anything, just give some advice.
My longest wait of one and a half years was indeed a wrestling return itself from vickie guerrero (current WWE personality, wife of legendary Eddie).
Also just some more advice, in case you are wanting more wrestling returns in the future (I saw you mentioned John cena) I wouldn't send to the WWE HQ address as this 9.999 times out of ten does not produce a success and is just a waste of time, stamps and hope. This applies to current stars anyway. Just thought I'd say as it's awful when people waste their stamps.

I'd give it a little longer. One of my successes took one and a half years. That is what comes with the hobby.

I just figured I'd post it because Dusty's average was about a week or two. Just trying to be helpful. I will continue to wait, obviously, and will revise my post based on what happens in the next few weeks. My longest wait for a wrestler was a little over 3 weeks, but then again I haven't requested an autograph from anyone like John Cena or any of the other dudes that get piles and piles of fan mail. Usually I just request the guys I grew up watching.

Who did you get back after such a long wait?

Key word is "collect." He said hes not a collector or did you miss that?
