I finally got around to sending a SASE of a few items (ok maybe like 5) for Mr. Selleck to sign, and I sent it to the Westlake address.
It was delivered on May 7, 2018 via USPS priority mail. I know Mr. Selleck wrapped up "Blue Bloods" filming a month or two ago and was rumored to be working on the next installment of his Jesse Stone movies.
I also know that it isn't a priority for Mr. Selleck but I'm starting to lose hope for getting my items signed. Anyone have any tips on if my address was no longer good or what the chances are that Tom will get around to it?
Appreciate it and wish me luck

Hi nha trang,
Your first mistake is sending multiple items. His "people" don't want the burden of looking after all your stuff and organizing sending it back, besides which more than one item being asked to sign makes them assume you are probably some dealer who is going to turn around and sell the stuff, so why should they make an effort just to make you some bucks? I'm saying that's what they think, not that you as a good fan wouldn't treasure the items.
Either ask for just an autographed photo or better yet supply a photo with a return envelope for Selleck to sign(sending the photo/envelope is the very best way to score a celeb's autograph).
NEVER send a collectible you value for a celeb to sign, for instance if you had obtained The Lad's dinner bowls and wanted Selleck's John Hancock on them, rather you should always assume anything you send is gone forever.
If I were you I would note in the end credits the name of the Blue Bloods production company, then send your request to Selleck, c/o the production company, c/o CBS HQ's in NYC. That will get to his people(CBS mail room people aren't going to break federal law and not pass on US mail!) and very likely him.
The very best way? If a celeb has written a book, write to him or her c/o the publisher. See, you have put money in the celebs pocket by buying the book and stroked his ego by your interest in his story.
My most satisfying score was getting Larry Storch to autograph a pic of himself as F Troop's Corporal Agarn and inscribe it to my buddy Dave in the 82nd, "from one great non com to another". It garnered him many comments over the years and much jealousy.
