why do I need to contact a celebrity via mail not E-mail?

[Kharouf]

Hello, how are you all?
I was wondering why do you have to send a letter by mail rather than e-mail to get a authentic success?
Thanks for your help.

You don't, always. I've heard of a few people with a success via email. Having said that, I think through the mail would increase your chances for a number of reasons: you can include something for them to sign, you can include a SSAE so they don't have to spend their money on stamps and envelopes, and also it's much more personal. Think of it this way: would you rather have an email back from them simply saying 'hello, from X' or would you rather have something through the mail?

Not to mention, it's harder to ignore a letter in front of you than it is to delete an email request.

Yes, I totally agree with what rachael has said.

It is often true that celebrities are more likely to authentically sign through the mail rather than e-mail. However, it would be helpful if you keep this in mind: if they are known as hard signers through the mail, then I would recommend you to try contacting through their agents or managers' e-mail addresses, than to just keep writing non-TTM signers TTM. In that case, they will usually accept your request.

Good luck!

1. Some Celebs Send PP's If You Send Them an Email.
(So Someimes TTM is Your Best Option Because They Wont Sign Authentically)

2. To Email All Of Your Successes Is Rude..
(Kinda Makes U Seem Like a Cheap Scammer, Not Saying U R. Jus Saying.)

3. TTM is More Personal and Nice.
(They Will Think "Wow This Person Really Wants My Autograph)

4. You CAN Email Some People, But Too Much Gives U a Bad Rep.
(ESP If U Dont Have The $$ And Stamps)

IMO I Think That Its MUCH BETTER To Mail Someone Through The Mail..
Because Like Rachael Said Its So Easy To Delete An Email...LOL! BUT They Can Also
Just Throw Away Your Envelope But TTM is a Better Option From My Experience.
Hope This Helps U
