I'm grateful enough to actually receive signed pictures but having a personalized picture is just the icing on top of a cake. I think when it's personalized it's more special.

I love recieving any kind of reply no matter what, but I prefer personalized autographs since I collect for me. I always specificly ask for an presonalized autograph in my LOR too. Luckily most celebs I've written usually personalize their sigs.

I'm happy to receive any, but prefer getting personalized ones

Depends on what's being autographed.

Personalized
-index cards
-pictures

Not personalized
-sports cards
-CD/DVD/VHS covers
-Big memoribilia things (i.e.- guitar, game used bats, helmets, etc.)

i prefure personalised because it it means they most likely read your letter and I'm happy with anything !! but not like with big items as said above !!

I prefer just the graph, especially on small items as one day someone like my kids are going to sell these and they're value is more if they are not personalized. That's not to say I don't love the ones I get personalized, it's fun to read the message if there is one. I think that if you're going to put my name on the photo, then little message just makes it that much nicer!

This. I'm also worried about future value of my collection.

Personalized.

I collect for me. I'm not a dealer. It's my collection. Having my name added to an autograph makes it that much more special, especially if it's authentic. Of course, I would never ever refuse an non-personalized one. I'm not a dealer so there's basically no "MAYBE SHE'LL SELL IT" factor with me. I don't collect to make money, it's a hobby.

The only thing I don't like being personalized (because it takes up SO MUCH ROOM) are sports cards. Ugh. I don't sell those either, for the record. I have some.

Depends if personalized by celebrity yes cause its been done for you and makes it special but not if a sec personalized , plus I understand why some wouldn't want it personalized cause if you were to ever tade or sell it woundnt worth as much, all depends if your collecting as a hobbie or for future investment, for me its a nice hobbie

I am so pleased that when I wrote to Philip Lowrie from Coronation Street that he wrote back with a signed cast card personalised it for me "To Ben, Best Wishes, Philip Lowrie". This is my most relevant autograph I think and I am glad I havesomething that he wrote on in my possession.

Me too my first ever autograph which came through the post had a letter with it for me

i was so disappointed when the next one came and it didnt have a letter

Early in my autograph collecting days I didn't think hard enough about what I wanted to have signed, so I had two personalized items I ended up wanting to sell. I actually got rid of one to a guy who didn't even share my name, but he wanted the autograph so much he took it anyway. The other, I just wish I'd gotten the autographs on different items, but oh well. These days, I have enough confidence in the item I've chosen (i.e. what movie, since I get DVD and Blu-Ray covers autographed) and the person who I'm getting an autograph from to say I like personalization.

I prefer personalized. Shows they probably took the time to read the letter. And it is more sentimental that they actually spared 3 or 4 seconds to write your name on it. Some stars may have a stack of pre signed then personalize each one for each letter request and shove it back into the SAE.

Whatever I get back as long as I can be pretty sure its from the actual person... and not just an AP PP or Sec...

Personalized? Yes, Awesome... Not Personalized? Sure why not.

It doesn't matter to me.
BUT it's said that NON personalized photos and such are worth more.

But for my collection, I don't care
I'm happy with any success.
