I have 2 from Noel Edmonds (UK version)

Where can I buy blank index cards??? I can't find any anywhere :S

I'm sending an SASE to John Bach's agent in London (Madril in LOTR) and they're sending it on to New Zealand. The problem is, I don't know how many stamps to put on the SASE - does anybody know how much it would cost to send mail from NZ to England? Would I need some International Reply Coupons, and...

AFTER you've received it back with a signed photo from whoever you have written to?

Is it important to keep the envelope in good condition? I've receibved some envelopes back with a few rips and tears in them, and the edges have gone quite flimsy so when I've opened it with a letter opener it tears bits off and stuff like that.

Do you put the envelope in your folder along with the photo?

On the Feedback Forum I've noticed that everybody outs the date that they sent their request and when they received their autograph. Is it really important for collectors to note these dates?

Many thanks for your help - I guess I'll type my letters!

Which is best, typed or handwritten. I read somewhere that handwritten means you have more chance of getting a reply as they see you've taken your time over writing it, and is different to most letters they may receive - what are your thoughts?
