Getting multiple signatures.

[GazzaPaul]

I've got three Sylvan Ebanks-Blake Match Attax cards, and wanted to send all three, as I have 2 friends who are supporters of Wolves, and will be part of their Christmas present.

Although of course, clubs are aware of scamers, who will sell extras on Ebay.
And I bet all of them say, can you sign one or two for my friend, the celeb signs, and then see that signiture on Ebay.
But I'm not doing that, so what's the best was to request for THREE signatures, because normally, they'll send back all three unsigned.

Cheers

Ask for them to be personalised. Although,this is slightly hard on a small card. It really is hard these days thanks to dealers

My collection consists of a lot of Multiple autographs. The most I have from one person is 13 (Matthew Modine) & 12 from another (Keely Marshall). I typically request four autographs with each request I send out. & I don't find that to be a greedy number, as I provide all the items, a nice handwritten letter and a SASE.

I feel since I'm taking the time to put a nice request together I want to get a good response. Plus I like to have extra's in the event that some might come back smudged or damaged whether it was the type of pen they used or part of the envelope got chewed in the sorting machine at the post office.

I always ask for my autographs to be personalized, and in your case I would put sticky notes on all three cards saying "Please personalize to (Friend's Name)" that way they know your not going to re-sell them.

I send at most three, and put post-it notes on like Ryan asking for them to be personalised.

In the letter I mention the people I'm requesting for, and why they are worthy.

Some will only sign one, most will sign all, some of them never come back.

Doesn't hurt to ask.

My biggest ever success was Tom Baker (Doctor Who 4); he sent me 14 pictures/postcards all autographed (and I only asked for one). Second biggest was Joseph Culp (Doctor Doom in the Corman Fantastic Four movie). I sent him 3 photos, he sent me an additional 4 of his own (and I didn't even ask him for them!).
