This is the Request Graveyard...Many Dreams Come Here to Die

---

This is the part of the job I hate the most...putting innocent addresses to death. This is a list of my failures, rejections, and denials. I am usually pretty careful to whom I send requests, but I do get taught a lesson sometimes and I feel that I should share them with you. I have been getting schooled quite hard lately...I am not happy.

Secretarial, it matches the example in the "Autograph Collector" magazine's archive. He is a notorious for using secretaries to sign items. Finally, some closure on this item, I guess it is a cool picture though...that's about enough.

This looks like some sort of pre-print under the microscope, but I am not sure what the hell it is. It is similar to the Elle card I received, I am guessing it is the same company?
