Welcome to collecting!

Let me see if I can explain this where you can actually understand it. I can be confusing at times. :oops:

A SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope) is to have YOUR address on it for the celebrity to use to mail the autograph to you.

Many people on the forum fold the SASE and fit it in a smaller envelope so it hopefully costs less postage to mail.

If you have photo paper to put a photo of the celebrity on, you will need to make sure your SASE and the envelope addressed TO the celebrity will let the photo fit in.-- You don't want to bend the photo

I'd be glad to help if you have more questions: hopefully I haven't confused you. :)

Well usualy you send a larger envelope to the address of the person you are writing to (nothing too rediculously big) and within this envelope you will have a SASE envelope (which will fit the picture which you are sending, if you are sending one and which will fit in the main envelope), a LOR (Letter of Request) and a photograph (if you want to).

In the past I have sent hard backed envelopes (normal size) with a folded envelope inside. On this I stuck a 'Do Not Bend' sticker and to my relief it does work. As long as the writing is big enough the post people should take notice! {thumb2} ;-)

I ramble, maybe someone can explain more simply than I can. {thumb2}

I've never requested an autograph TTM (however I have via email) and I'm very confused on how to send a SASE. I went out and bought some photo paper as well as some standard size manilla envelopes in preparation for this, but I'm still pretty confused. Do I send a regular envelope or a larger manilla one? Do I fold it and put it inside of the regular envelope?
