I had heard of others getting this some time back, so just assumed my request was a dead duck in the postal system.

After 459 days c/o Tovern Productions inc, I got my pics back unsigned with a slip saying Ernest only signs at events now. My letter was also returned, so I doubt if Ernest saw it.

Happy to know it is a no go via this route. Much better than having no reply at all, and not knowing one way or the other.

Doh! Sorry, should say, that was Ernest Borgnine.

#5 - That's the way it goes in this hobby Daz. Some you win, some you lose. At the end of the day, although we all want a successful reply to our requests, I would prefer more did this than send secretarials or preprints. This is an honest response, and tells you straight where you stand.

Had a couple of nice replies today, but will post them tonight when I scan them.

#6 Agree entirely.  I would rather know than have a secretarial or autopen.  At least the piccies came back.

Bad luck Nigel. I missed him by one day when he was signing his book a while back. 😞 Totally agree about knowing how things stand rather than getting a worthless sec.

Bad luck Nigel,as you say,it is better to get them back unsigned rather than stamped or a sec.

Sorry to hear that Nigel i agree though i would rather my bits be sent back with a letter explaining why. I suppose Ernest has done his bit too as has always been good through the mail and he aint getting any younger
