Herman Darvick posted a discussionThrough the Mail in the 1960s
Just thought I would share this: When I starting collecting autographs in the 1960s, through the mail, I asked questions, I gave my opinions, always enclosed return postage (International Reply Coupons for foreign letters) and, at the end, asked for an autograph. That's how I got the autographs, through the mail, of Charlie Chaplin on a photograph, Pablo Picasso on an art reproduction, and a letter to me from Charles de Gaulle.See More
