Cpt. Caveman's TTM Autographs #85

-
Welcome back for another weekly TTM success post. I hope everyone had a great graphing week. Our weeks been a slow one so I thought I'd talk a little about Patience and no I don't mean the Guns n Roses song lol. This hobby can be hard on inpatient collectors. I'm always seeing people asking why it's been 2-3 months and they haven't received a reply yet. I'm always pleasantly surprised when a success returns quickly. Sometimes it only takes a few weeks or a couple months but that's not always the case. Sometimes it can take a year or two before something returns. Even with celebs that usually return quickly your letter could just be buried under newer fan mail or schedule changes could cause them to take longer at replying. Worst case scenario your request letter or returning SASE could be lost, damages or even stolen while in route. Those are usually rare occurrence's but it does happen. I never get worried until its been a year or longer then I'll usually just retry unless its a signer that's known to take years to reply. Iv seen other TTM collectors get returns after 5-10 years and we've had several return that we never thought we'd see again after several years so there's always hope. As always there's never any guarantee anything we send will ever return but it's always great when something does. I know how it feels when you see everyone else getting returns back from a celeb you wrote and yours hasn't came back yet it stinks but usually it eventually shows up and if not just retry. So just be patient I promise you'll enjoy TTM collecting 100% more than stressing out over something you have no control over. Now on to this weeks success. Saturday brought the first and only return of the week when after only seven days both Star Trek pictures we sent returned signed by Steven Marlo. Unfortunately he back signed the pictures but it's still a great addition to our Trek cast. That's it for this week. Hopefully it picks back up next week but until then have a great graphing weekend and I'll be back next week with more TTM autographs and addresses.
