If they're going to go through all the hassle of getting PP's then sending them out, I think they should just send authentic's! But that's just me.

I totally agree

I keep everything I get. It's a "win-win" for me. All I have to do is write a letter and put a few stamps on it...and I get "a response"? I think that's pretty cool. With my autograph collecting, I only strive to be heard...to get my word across. If that generates a PP (or a secretarial), that's fine by me. At least someone (hopefully close to that celebrity) read it and responded. I come away with a fantastic-looking photo (most of the time). I'm happy.

There's little logic to that I'm afraid. The hassel of sending out PPs would fall to the PA/agent's office, not the celebrity. To send out authentics there would be a significant amount of time invested in it by the celebrity themselves.

I agree. The hassel for the celeb consists of signing a prototype photo,and that's it.

Another reason I like the idea of pp - imo, it is the best ''non-authentic'' to get. It does not try to blatently deceive their fans like an ap, and it is not cowardly, like a sec is.(not sure if cowardly is the right word,but i'll run with it) It is more a polite nod, a ''sorry I can't sign, but please accept this''. Some, hell, most might not care for it, but at least you know where you stand.

I keep them but dont like them. It makes me think the person who i wrote to has no idea of me or my letter, just someone who gets paid to go "oh another request, bin the letter and stick this in their envelope" I cant imagine a celeb recieving a lovely letter and going " i must thank them by sending them a PP"
to me PP = recipiant hasnt read your letter.

Very true, but unfortunately receiving a hand signed one is no guarantee they read it either.

I often wonder what % of my responses have been read by the celebs. Probably not a lot.

Which is sad. We want our letters to get passed the people who look at them and make their way to the celebrity. But yet, that would take alot out of their day.
