Today I got back in the mail my 1990 LSU Collegiate Collection card signed by the great quarterback Bert Jones. Bert was an All-American in 1972, and would go on to have a wonderful pro career, earning the NFL MVP award in 1976. Played 10 years in the NFL, and threw for 18,190 yards, and 124 touchdowns.

Thanks guys reason I was asking I had been sending mine out with three 44 cent stamps but I had read on an actress website to at least send a buck forty for a return. But thank you so much for the reply.

I have only sent one picture out that was signed by someone else and the only reason I even did that one was because I knew they were regular signers and I would get it back and I also had an extra signed picture by that person just in case.
Well after a very slow two weeks. I had only received one envelope in 2 weeks. I received two on Wednesday and they were packed.
I received Angie Dickinson and she signed all of her Police Woman DVD covers from the set and I had sent Martin Sheen a request for Charlie Sheen and also added a photo for him to sign for a donation to my charity and not only did he return that picture but he gave me an extra 4 pictures from him three for the charity and one extra for me. SWEET!
Now not only did I get those but Charlie also signed the pictures I mailed for him so a really nice return and I really didn't expect Charlie's.
I also recently got an envelope from Craig Ferguson.

I hate when I ask them to sign something for the my charity and they personalize everything to me and then it's difficult to use for an auction. Right now I almost have an entire 9 X 12 filled with donations and that doesn't count the signed scripts, books, playbills and other items that have been sent. I hope to have Heritage do an auction for us soon and hopefully they can find someone to donate their time and expertise to authenticate the items. If I am not sure about an item I didn't add it to the donations but most are very real.

Shane, I have been doing well with just a 44 cent stamp. Of course, I only send out index cards or trading cards. I recently used UPS to send off for an autograph of Steve Carlton on a beautiful 11x14 picture of 300 game winners in baseball history, and I used a thick bubble envelope to send and have it returned in, and used an SASE with confirmation and everything. It got back to me OK, but was beat to death!! I am thankful I used an 11x14 toploader for extra protection. That is the only thing that saved that picture from being completely destroyed. I even put "Pictures - Do Not Bend" on the envelopes. Next time, I think I will use a nice size box to ship it in to the next person to sign it.

When I'm sending an item out for an autograph, I usually contact the person first to see if they are willing to sign. If I get a return that says to go ahead and send my item I send everything priority mail with a return SASE priority mail item and I do confirmation both ways. I won't do it for a card or an 8x10 but will do it when sending out a mini helmet or an item that already has been signed by others.

Sending a note first has been a godsend and sometimes I get an extra autograph by the recipient signing the return note.

I usually use three .44 stamps. But I also send at least 2 8 X 10 photos and thy are at least 10mil thick so they are pretty heavy and I ask for a donation if possible and that usually covers most of the cost.

But if I am sending to a venue like on Broadway I may even add another stamp since the donations are normally playbills and those add a little more weight. But it all depends on what you are sending and what you expect back.
