hey do u have any idea how much your gonna be auctioning off ur autographs? And how many do u have right now.

Hi Dubsbball14,

I really don't have any idea on the prices yet, it will depend on the autograph in question, but I am thinking all prices will be reasonable, it is then up to buyers how much to bid!

I currently have around 250 autographs and other signed items, DVDs, videos, books, scripts and clothing etc.

Where are your autos from?

Hi Dubsbball14, {up}

Thanks for your question! Quite a few of my autos are from the UK, but a large percentage of them are international celebs. Most BIG celebrities have agents offices in the UK as well as the US. Once I have located a US agent, I then try to find the UK counterpart, for example the massive US agent William Morris's website (http://www.wma.com) lists all its worldwide offices. Many of the others do likewise. When you find a US agent, try replacing the .com at the end of the address with .co.uk and this often directs you to the UK office.

If you check out this thread http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=7018 you will get an idea of the autos I have collected so far!

Hope this is helpful!

I was going through the list of your successes, and all the BIG celebrities on there's addresses you've used are all in the US, so I wondered, which ones were you referring to that you wrote to in the UK?

Hi Becky {up}

If you follow the thread for the celeb you are interested in you will see the address I used. In fact I have only received around 5 or 6 autographs directly from the USA, all the rest have been via UK celebs or through their UK agents.

For example, some major celebs with UK addresses are:

Thanks anyhoo

Hi {up}

I did kind of mean that! For example Whoopi Goldberg & Catherine Zeta-Jones are both with WMA in the US, but I got autos from them by contacting WMA in London.

It's the same agency, just a different international office.

Ah right, I haven't heard of people actually getting CZJ's there before, maybe it's only for charity auctions they are sent out? I may try anyway, thanks

Hi guest! {up}

No problem!

It might be they just support charity auctions with autos, I don't know.
Good luck!
