First, welcome!
Second, to answer your question, it depends. Some people you write to may respond quickly while others take a while. Also you may get a RTS (Return to Sender) or no response at all. Sometimes you may also get something that's auto penned or a pre-printed signature. It just comes down to who you decide to write to. I hope this helps and have fun collecting!

Some (like NASA astronauts) send photos for the asking. But generally, and the polite thing to do is, send a photo or other item you want signed when making your request for an autograph.

No, 'they' have a big warehouse of photos of themselves just ready to send to someone. You don't have to ask for it either. Just imagine them sending one, and they will know you will want one and send it to you anyway

Alright guys. Please remember that users may be kids asking for the first time, or English may not be the first language, there's no need to be rude when someone is just asking for help.
