[quote="Hartster"]That sounds right - 9x12 for the SASE (photo, sheet protector, cardboard) and the 10x13 for the sendout. I've done two Global Forever and a Forever First-Class on the SASE, but I've noticed some having an additional few cents added by the sender - so I'd go with three Global Forever for the SASE.

The sendout usually goes as a First-Class Parcel (because it's marked Do Not Bend, and as a bonus, has a tracking number.) Usually starts at $2.64 or $2.80-something. The sendouts are the ones you want to bring to the Post Office for postage.

I usually get the envelopes with the self-seal flaps.[/quote]

Thank you!

Just wondering which envelopes you guys use and which size for 8x10 pictures? I'm getting ready to send out my first batch of requests i just have to pick out some envelopes first. I was going to get some MEAD 10x13 envelopes and then use a 9x12 as the SASE would that work? Also for this size envelope would i use stamps or would it be shipped like a package? How many stamps or how much would it cost for both of these? Sorry for so many questions and thanks in advanced!
