The title pretty much explains my excitement. :lol: I sent an e-mail to Mary about a month ago and today my brother handed my mom the mail and there was this big white envelope on the bottom and I instantly knew it was from Mary. I was like 'This is mine!' and ran off into my room to open it. :lol: It has the picture of her from The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited and she signed it 'Hi Jessica, Mary Tyler Moore'. I'm so excited! :D

Congrats!

Where ever did you send your email, Jessica?

I'm glad for you, but I just have to ask one thing.

With these mail-in autographs, how do you know that it is actually signed by the person you requested? How do you know that it is not a copy, not signed by a representative, or signed by a robot-pen?

Personally, I don't go for mail-ins and all of the autographs that I have I got in person; so I know for sure that it was actually signed by the person.

I've collected autographs through the mail for years, and after a while, you just know. Preprints and autopens are VERY easy to detect, and after a while you learn people's signatures, or you can easily look them up. There's also a group of celebrities who are known to use secretaries (John Travolta, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosanna Arquette, etc.). Mary is not a celebrity who is known to send fakes through the mail.

For anyone wondering where to email, the address is MTMPix@aol.com.

Jessica, congrats! Welcome to the club, hehe. I'd love to see a scan sometime, if you can do it. :) Mary's one of the best signers. There are so many people I'd like to write to, but I'm usually too intimidated and/or lazy, LOL.

Yes, I know that people have been doing mail-ins for a long time.

Myself, I just wouldn't do it. I just am better off knowing for sure that I got something signed by a person (right in front of me) and not question its authenticity. That's the way it is with me.

That's fine. But for me, I feel that I'm educated enough on the subject to not have to question the authenticity of the majority of the people I write.

I know I promised to scan my autograph but I forgot. I will do it this weekend or next week since it's my spring break and I'll have loads of time.

That's awesome. I got an autograph from her in February 2009 that is personalized to me. It took 5 months for me to get it though.
