There are a variety of problems that you can run into when ordering a free autographed celebrity photo. The first problem that you will run into is the quality of the photo that you may receive. Most autographed celebrity photos that you order online or through a snail-mail program are mass reproduction photos. This means that the quality of these photos may not be pristine and may be marred in some way.

The second major issue that you may run into when ordering free autographed celebrity photos is the fact that they may not actually be signed by the actual celebrity in question. In fact just as easily as general photos can be reproduced so can celebrity autographs. They can be stamped on or they can simply be copies of the celebrities autograph made on a professional photocopier.

If you are ordering a free autographed celebrity photo, in most cases, the photo and signature will both be mass produced and will not be authentic. This means that the celebrity in the photo did not actually sign your photo. The free autographed celebrity photo will then be of no value.

Whenever you hear the word 'free', you should automatically assume that you are getting nothing more than the photo with a carbon copied signature.

Many organizations and or clubs that offer free autographed celebrity photos, actually use their service to collect the personal information of those who are requesting the photos. They will generally sell your information to other companies and or organizations who will automatically add you to their mailing lists.

Prior to ordering a free autographed celebrity photo you should contact the business, company, or individual that you are ordering the photo from and ask them about their terms of service and privacy policy, in order to avoid being added to such lists.

It should be noted that many organizations, companies, and individuals who do give away free autographed celebrity photos, have no connections with the actual celebrities at all. In most cases the celebrity is probably not aware that their image is being distributed with the likeliness of their signature printed upon it. Many celebrities have actually sued individuals who do not have the right to distribute a photo of them, which has been copyrighted by another organization. Many celebrities are also very careful with having their signature displayed to millions of people throughout the world due to identity theft.

The chances of a buyer obtaining an authentic free autographed celebrity photo over the Internet or via other service is slim to none. The only way you will able to obtain such a photo would be for you to meet the celebrity whom you wish to sign your photo and watch them sign it in person. This is the only way that you will able to obtain a free autographed celebrity photo without any problems.

All other methods of obtaining a free autographed celebrity photograph come with more problems and issues than can be anticipated. Buyers should always be aware of frauds and individuals attempting to simply gain personal information from buyers.
