This is how you get your cards signed now.
Card signing is now a flat rate of £3.00 per signature. Shadow signatures count as two, so are £6
Please REMOVE sleeves, they weigh extra and we cannot guarantee we will replace or return them.
There is no limit to how many cards you can send, but if you send a lot then you might have a bit of a wait!
Card alterations and doodles
John can alter cards with a simple line drawing of his choice. Price for an alteration or doodle is £20.
John will routinely sign and alter in black ink. Gold or silver are available by request but please be aware these pens can cause sticking and flaking even after careful drying.

Customs!
PLEASE NOTE: on customs forms tick ‘GIFT’ and do not value for high amounts, (i.e. say the entire package is worth $5 or less). This will be picked up by customs if too high and we will have to pay over 20% charge on this value, or if we do not pay your cards will be returned to you at your own cost. If you are concerned about your cards it is better to send them by courier and undervalue them. We will reclaim any customs payments from you where necessary.
