HI,

I am new to the forum and impressed and (not going to lie) a bit overwhelmed. Where do you buy the photos from? What's a good or average price? I don't want some picture from my at home printer.

Thank you

Very excited about this site/forum...INCREDIBLE!!!

Hiya nednarb3,

Firstly, Welcome to Fanmail.biz! :mrgreen:

Are you strating your colelction now, or were you a collector before siging up? :)

Some good websites to order your photos from online inlcude:

{star} Snapfish
{star} Jessops
{star} Tesco photo
{star} Kodak Gallery UK or Kodak Gallery USA

There are many more though. Most will offer free prints as an introductory offer. {up}

Movie Market <-- This website is good too.

Feel free to ask any more questions you may have and good luck with your collection! {thumb2}

I am just starting to collect now. I always wanted to, never had the resources I needed...like this forum. I am also interested in athletes. I also just came out of the Marine Corps. Now I have a bit more time.

Hi nednarb3, :D

Welcome to the forums.
Phoebe basically covered all the great photo sites. Many trusted members on the forums also sell photos for if you are interested. You can see all the different sellers under the Autographs for sale/exchange topic. {thumb2}
If you have any other questions I'm always happy to help. ;-)
Good luck!

Movie Market is incredible. I've bought lots of photos from them over the years. They even offer different size photos. I've gotten some incredible 16 x 20 photos to have signed.

Any other USA places to buy? It seems that everyone purchases photos and includes that with their letters. So, does everyone buy a big quantity before sending out requests? Do you request them to provide a picture? Are these pictures bought (from site), supplied from celebrity just on garbage paper?

What do you recommend??? I guess it's just not sinking in. Sorry for being a bit slow and repetitive on this.

Most celebrities do include their own picture if you do not send your own. You can check the feedback for a certain person to check if they do or don't.
A lot of people send their own photo just so they can have their favorite photo signed, or they want a different size than the celebrity send out.
Personally, I usually just ask for the photo that they send out, or include one from a magazine. I've never bought one.
But, a lot of people I belive just plan out who they want to write to soon, and order their photos. A lot of people also just find HQ ones and print them on their own computer.
In most cases it is up to you. The only time you should always include one is if you are sending VV.
I hope this makes sense.

What does VV mean? If I send one VV??? I am not sure if I understand that.
