You don't happen to put the celebs name and return addres on your SASE's do you? If so, that might be why. The mail employees or someone down the line is recognizing who it's from and swiping them. {down} That's why I switched to just putting their initials on my SASE's and logging in what address I used on my computer.

I NEVER put the celebs name and the return address on the SASE. Instead, I use a coding on the bottom right hand corner on the back of the envelope. For example, if I am writing to an actor, I draw a little star. If I am writing to an actress, I draw a rhombus. If I'm writing to a professional fighter, I draw a triangle. So on, so on. It is a lot easier for me to also organize who I send out to and if I received something back. That's just what I do. I doubt if anyone else does that.
EVERY REQUEST INCLUDES A SASE, INDEX CARD FOR "SLIGHT" PROTECTION AND LOR!!

NONE OF MY AUTOGRAPHS ARE FOR SALE!!! THEY ARE FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION ONLY!!!

Autograph collecting is a hobby of mine. It is not meant to be anything for profit nor beyond my enjoyment. I only send out to people I have deep respect for in their profession/field. I send out to the following but not limited to: professional/college athletes/coaches, actors/actresses from TV shows, artists/authors, voice actors/actresses, and any other random celebrity I love/respect. I try to respect everyone's privacy the best I can.

Feel free to private message me about anything. I'm always willing to help if I can. Just do not demand addresses/advice. Be chill about it and I'll definitely be of some help! Aggression and entitlement gets nothing.

Best advice I can give everyone about autograph collecting through the mail are the 3 P's:


BE POLITE!!!
BE POSITIVE!!!
BE PATIENT!!!

I always put my own address as the return address.

Interesting system, CW!

I normally just don't put a return address on the SASE. Should I be?

The Post Office will say yes, but the reality is that if there's a problem with the envelope they'll simply deliver it to whoever it's addressed to (or send them a notice if postage is due or something). This is why I don't put a return address on my SASEs. If there's a problem I want it to come to me no matter what.

Hey guys! Thanks for the comments. To Ryan J. all I put on my SASE is my home address. So I hope "swiping" is not a problem. Although, one day when I walked down to the mailbox the mail man had made a comment on how he had noticed I had been sending letters out to various celebrities. May have been innocent, but who knows! I'm probably just having bad luck.

To capmonte: I've sent a ton of letters in the past, I've been waiting for Amanda Seyfried, Jason Alexander, "I sent this request the same time everyone had received success, but I didn't get anything. I've sent to about 25 different classic actresses, such as Debra Paget, Mary ann Mobley. Nothing
