The smart move would be to put the cardboard inside the SASE so that the celebrity doesn't have to think about it. So I don't think putting a 9x12 inside a 9x12 would be a good idea. For that matter, a 10x13 is only slightly larger and the additional postage cost would be minimal. Well the idea was...

Would it work if you put a 9x12 inside a 9x12 but just fold the edges slightly so that it fits? And also put in a piece of card slightly smaller than the 9x12? Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for all the replies, you've really helped. You know how you say that you fold your SASE? That worries me because first off, if they send it back with a photo in it, and the postman sees that the envelope has a crease in it, he's more likely to fold it!

Hehe, I had the letter short because I always read that you should keep your letters short. Maybe I took it too literaly!

They're great Nich. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the help.

Sorry if I seem to be asking a lot of questions but I just want to get it right the first time round!

Would it be acceptable to take a "screenshot" from a scene in a movie/tv show and print that out and send it to them, or is that unacceptable? The reason I ask is that some autographs that I want, the actors don't have any good photos online, and in some cases none at all! Also I thought i...

Hey Nich, this is a great service you're doing people. It's really appreciated!

I was wondering if you could get me Nathan Fillion photos and Peter Stormare photos?

Thanks a bunch. ;)

I might call into my local camera shop and see what they say! Thanks.

By the way, what is the "normal" size photo to send?
