Welcome back for another weekly TTM success post. I sometimes see newer TTM collectors and some veteran collectors that only write a fan letter / autograph request letter and send that to a celeb but they don't include a photo to get signed or a SASE for them to return the item after it's been signed. I guess they hope or expect that the celebs will provide a signed photo and cover the cost of return postage. Sure some will do this but some don't. It's been my experience that sending a SASE with proper postage greatly increases the odds of getting a return. It's just so much easier for the celebs to sign the item and pop it in your SASE and then toss it in the mail. Without a SASE someone has to take the extra time getting an envelope ready to mail it out. Now that might not seem like alot of work preparing an envelope but keep in mind that more than likely they get a ton of requests and preparing return envelopes for even a fraction of all the fan mail they receive could be very time consuming and costly. So anything that makes it easier for whomever to sign and return our photos could mean the difference between an empty mailbox or one with a little TTM goodness that we all crave to see when we crack open our mailboxes. As for sending photo's or something to get signed I always include something. Usually it's photo but even if I know that they send there own signed or pre signed photos I still include an index card or two. For me personally I just feel better knowing I sent something instead of nothing when asking for a free autograph. Besides sometimes you get lucky and they'll sign the index cards as a bonus. This goes for the SASE also. I usually send one even if they don't require you to and alot of the time they'll return your unused SASE so you can still use it another day. So why not increase your chances of a successful TTM attempt by including a photo and SASE with all your attempts. Anyways now on to this week's TTM successes. Friday brought our one and only return this week when we received our photo that was previously signed by Richard Karn back signed by Tim Allen after only five weeks. That's all for this week. Have a great graphing weekend and I'll be back next week with more TTM autographs and address's.
