Hi jtbull46 :D

When you send your request from the US to Canada, US stamps should be stuck on your envelope.

However, when you're paying for return postage, the 'special stamps' you need are Canadian stamps. You will need stamps worth $0.89 (for standard letters up to 30 grams) per envelope. Click [url=http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=14167]here[/url] for a list of postal prices.

If you cannot get Canadian stamps to stick on your return envelope, an alternative would be to purchase an [url=http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=14171]International Reply Coupon[/url] (IRC) from your local post office. Whomever receives your request will be able to take the IRC to their post office and exchange for stamps to stick on your return envelope to post your cards back to you.

Good luck!

if you're sending trading cards you'll need 2 stamps if you're sending from Canada to the states.

you can't buy them at a U.S. post office. You can buy them online from Canada post.

Here's the link

choose the $0.51 Stamps - Booklet of 10.

here's the link for the rates to ship from Canada

Just to be on the safe side. On the return address only write your address. So just incase there's not enough postage the envelope still comes back to you. The only thing you'll have to pay the missing postage,but at least you'll get it back :)

eric lindros if he is still playing. ALso bj ryan of the bluejays as far as baseball goes. Do you know if you can buy them at the us post office and should they be the same aamount. for example should i be able to use one canadian stamp to get it back or should i put w on it

you'll need to put canadian stamps on your return envelope. If you don't mind me asking who are you going to write too? (I'm from Canada)

if i want an autograph from someone in canada and i live in new jersey, what would i need to send, are there special stamps i need to buy, i would probably be sending a couple hockey cards. any help would be appreciated
