I'm pretty sure you'd need atleast 3. UK postage is getting expensive as hell

They work just like forever stamps, and the poster above me has listed the current values.

You need to weigh your return envelope, convert to grams and use the price finder already posted for you.

One stamp will not be enough, 2-3 would be my best guess. Airmail is expensive.

The only thing is, is that the stamps don't have any value listed on them. It just says "1st" in the corner, and has the London Olympics logo on it.

From UK to Germany I now need 87p (this is 1st class and 27p). Until April it was just 67p...
So from UK to America one 1st class stamp is not enough. Maybe this will help: http://c435158.r58.cf3.rackcdn.com/Roya ... Prices.pdf {up}

sounds like a normal 1st class (60p)
and yes you'd needs more than i stamp for uk to usa postage
i've never sent a letter that size to usa,
i normally send a 6x8 letter and that costs £2.30(60 grams)
you'll have to ask others on here for cost

The booklet says "Valid for items up to: 240 mm long, 165 mm wide, 5mm thick, 100g weight". My letter would fit in those requirements, but IDK if they require more for international.

I'm writing to an actress in the UK, and I live in the US. I have 6 UK First Class stamps. The return envelope I am sending is about 5inx7in, and in the envelope, there will be 2 4inx6in pictures, and a piece of card stock to protect the pictures. So, will 1 of these stamps be enough for my letter to get safely back to the USA?
