About Stan Lee:  Has anyone else had any luck TTM?  At shows he charges $30-$40 per sig.  I remember another collector friend of mine in Michigan saying that he was done TTM.  The letter that they sent was nice and just stated that because of the internet there were too many requests.

I've received Christmas cards from original Mouseketeers Lonnie Burr, Bobby Burgess, Mary Espinosa and Don Underhill over the weekend. Expect one from original Mouseketeer Sharon Baird as well as Jon Provost (Timmy from the Lassie show) within the next few days. Also received back today Susan Orlean's new biography on Rin Tin Tin which she signed and dated for me.

GWB is definitely an autopen.  For my money, I would buy a copy of 'Decision Points' with a pre signed bookplate.  They are as good as gold!

@Julie- do you send the celebrity one of your X-mas cards and hope that they will respond back in kind?  Or are you specifically asking for a X-mas of theirs?

If you talk to Julie and see her pictures with the Mouseketeers, it's clear as day that no one loves and appreciates them more. Julie builds real friendships with celebrities whenever she can, and you can see in the photos that she is warm and excited when she meets them...and that they love being with her.

What Julie does from her heart helps the entire autograph community.

Thanks, Steve. It's true E.B.G. that I have developed friendships with these celebs and have been exchanging Christmas cards, as well as sending them birthday cards, for several years. Mary Espinosa is a more recent one that I've been able to start corresponding with. Bobby Burgess has typically sent out holiday family photos including his first grandchildren....twins. So it's cool to see how they've been growing.

@Julie- good idea!  It would be fun to collect X-mas cards by celebrities.  I have looked around in the past hour online and they don't seem to come up that often.

Hey guys...I come to realize I may have truly struck TTM gold with Stan Lee...all of my other TTM pals all over the country on you tube are just in shock and simply cant believe I got him back...I have been told he stopped and doesn't do it no more and have been told he doesn't respond and is near impossible to get TTM because like was mentioned the request are just insane and rightfully so...I have othe collector friends also tell me mine is good and I have seen his auto prior to getting it so I had an idea of what it should look like...but once again...this struck a cord with my other TTM com padres that basically spun them for a loop...I am really happy he took the time to send back to me !!!!

My sense is, CEE GEE, is you got very lucky. Perhaps it is also the holiday season. There have been some celebs in the past who have been known to answer a few requests only around the holidays. Al Lopez is an example. Here is a response I got from Stan back in 1999. Since then, I know a number of collectors who have tried numerous times with no response. BTW, Stan’s show signing fee is $90+, with a portion usually going to charity.

That's so sick !!!!!!!! I still wouldn't mind having to pay for it to get something better signed...I wonder if he would except payment TTM...a buddy of mine told me he tried 4 times to get him TTM and failed everytime...he was really shocked when he found out...I didn't know he was so hard to get I figured its just a gamble any way and it worked out really well for me !!
