Hi guys.    Finally joined and figured out how to post.    Jealous and inspired by some of the collections here to start ttm collecting again. I stopped during covid as was not getting many replies (understandably) and due to health reasons.    I wonder if anyone can help. I have used fan mail biz in the past. I see someone has posted a success from the amazing England player Terry butcher for example. Im just wondering if you guys could advise where you would be able to source addresses such as these?    Any help I would appreciate as itsxbeen a long time. I had mixed success in the past but saw my returns slow down a lot and gave up.    Thank you and happy new year to all. May your mailboxes flow during 2026.        ... View more

So with 2025 drawing to a close, please share your favorite autographs of the year. They don't have to be the biggest names, just those that mean something to you.   My choices were a lot harder this year as its been a much quieter year for me with less grails added but, in no particular order (other than No1), here are my top 10 of 2025:   Peter Cushing - I'd as good as given up ever getting hm on a Star Wars photo, given the crazy prices now, so couldn't believe my luck when this popped up on Vinted for an unbelievable steal of a price   Marcia Lucas - somebody who really doesn't get the credit she deserves for the part she played in Star Wars, it was her talented editing that helped bring the original film to life and turn in into the masterpiece we all know today   Alan Hume - Cinematographer from Return of the Jedi, several James Bond and carry films amongst others. I'd been looking for a good example of him for years so please to finally add him to the collection.   Laura Kenny, Joanna Rowsell, Katie Archibald and Ciara Horne - After finally finding a signed Laura Kenny jersey last year, I was still on the look out to get her on an England jersey so was thrilled when I was able to purchase the multi signed jersey.   Keira Knightley - not a new name to my collection but a great addition all the same. It was shame the art print turned out to be pre-printed but the signature on the inserted page made up for it.   Ashley Roberts - again, not a new name for the collection but a shot I have been after for quite a while so a welcome addition   Cobie Smulders - My Wife I really enjoyed How I Met Your Mother so when the opportunity come up to purchase this photo with character name, I pulled the trigger. The only problem is, I want the rest of the cast now, lol   Dina Carroll - One of my favorite singers of the 90's and not an easy autograph to find so pleased to add her to the collection   Isla Fisher - I've nearly purchased her autograph a few times but its never been quote the right shot, or the best autograph so pleased to add her this year   Sam Morton - as a big Walking Dead fan, her autograph was a glaring gap in my collection - not any more     I look forward to seeing others favorite pick ups this year                ...
