Any tips for a young collector?

[collector41]

I have only been collecting autographs since about November of 2012 ttm and I am just starting to get into trading over the internet. Does anybody have any tips? spammers? Do's and don't's?

Hey Collector41,
This is the wrong part of the forum to post this but some advice don't trust anyone trade at your own risk.

Hi

Good luck with this new hobby of yours, and ours !

yes wrong place to post, but here many people will read.

Most important, be patient !!

I received a photo last month, I had waited for this photo for 4 years !! (Shirley Jones)

Research !!

Do not be fooled by receiving great photos from film stars, who DO NOT REPLY, this is not a success.

I have been collecting autographs for thirty years and have a large collection.

Do not waste your time writing via Studio Fan Mail (all pre pens)

Check the list here, or on my website of actors who do not reply.

Fo Example John Travolta, Tobert De Niro, Al Pacino, Doris Day,many more !!

When you recieve a real reply it's a great feeling

Good Luck

Sean
