Important notice to my friends:  As always, I appreciate the e-mails with updates on whether posted addresses are successful or not.  I have a request though.  Please give some indication of which address that you are reporting on.  In many cases, there is more than one active address listed and I don't know which address to credit the info to.  It doesn't have to be the complete addresses, just basic info (i.e. "the PO Box" or "the Main Street address").  Something like that will go a long way to helping me keep everything in order. :-)

Just a note: September 9

This is along the lines of my last note about including the proper postage for your SASE when sending to another country.  I feel that I need to post this, as I have received yet another email from a celeb and/or representative with the same theme.

~= EMAIL DO'S & DON'TS =~

Email requests are a nice ways to get in touch with celebrities, but they are not fool proof.  The old adage "You get what you pay for" fits in perfectly here.  Simply because you take 2-3 minutes to write out an email request for an autograph, it does not automatically mean that you are entitled to one, or even a response, for that matter.  You may feel that you are saving money by sending a request electronically, but somebody along the line has to pay for the item that is signed, not to mention the postage.  As it's your hobby, you should not expect the celeb to pay for it. :-)  If you get a response requesting that you send an SASE for an autograph, you are at least getting what you asked for.  If you receive a preprint, again you are getting what you paid for.

Evidently, there are a select few that have responded negatively to a celeb when they have received a response stating that they need to send an SASE for an autograph or if they received a preprinted/autopenned photo.  Even more surprising, Star Collector has come up in the exchange because I have received some not so friendly emails requesting the their email address be removed from the website because of, as they put it, "rude fans" or "inconsiderate people".  I am not posting this to say not to use emails for autograph collecting.  I am just saying that more consideration needs to be used when doing them.  If celebs keep asking for their contact info to be removed, the site isn't much help.

Hey gang.  As most of you know, I run this website as a solo project and do it out of my pocket.  I do this out of dedication to the hobby and to try and keep it alive.  With that said, finances can get tight at times, so I do an annual donation drive.  As always, it is definitely not mandatory.  If you do donate, only do what you can afford or what you think the site is worth to you.  Any help is appreciated.  Why so early this year?  I usually do it from mid-September until the end of November.  It was suggested that I move it up from mid-August until the end of October due to holiday shopping falling into the previous drive.  I do have a PayPal donation link, which is available year round.  I will also provide a mailing address to those that do not use PayPal (another recommendation).  If you want to use the snail mail route, send a request to
