Hi peter :D

Welcome to the forum!

The easiest way would be to send International Reply Coupons (IRC) with your request. These are coupons which the peron you are writing to will take them to the post office and exchange for stamps to stick on your self addressed envelope (SAE). A detailed explanation on IRC's can be found here.

If you do want to buy stamps from France or the UK, it can be a bit difficult. If you know someone who lives/travelling to France or the UK you can ask them to get you some. Additionally, you could possibly buy them over the internet (I hear that you can't buy UK stamps from the UK post office though, I'm not sure about France).

Good luck!

Witam Cię serdecznie! Co do IRC'ów to zobacz na swojej poczcie. Jezeli mieszkasz w jakimś większym mieście to nie będzie problemu a jezeli na wsi/w małym miescie to mozesz miec problemy ze zdobyciem na poczcie. Ja tak dzisiaj miałem, bo został tylko jeden ;) A chciałem wysłac ze 4 sztuki. Na forum przeczytać mozesz, ze jezeli oczekujesz autograf na zdjęciu ( jezeli tak to pewnie większe niż A5 format ) to lepiej wyslij 2 albo 3. Ja daje 4 bo moj będzie szedł do USA a poczta lotnicza do Polski kosztuje tam 3,2 $ więc okolo 13 zł czyli 3-4 znaczki po 4,5 złotego. Lepiej dać więcej i nie żalować, bo jezeli jakies zostaną to jezeli jest w porządku to Ci odesle. Nawet jak nie to mysle ze to jest warte kilkunastu złotych jak dla mnie. W ktorejs odpowiedzi przeczytałem, że dziewczyna otrzymala autograf od Eastwood'a i On nie uzył ani jednego takiego znaczka tylko zaplacic ze swoich ;) W porządku jest gośc.

TO ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IT. THE TEXT WAS WROTE IN POLISH LANGUAGE, BECAUSE IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN THAT FOR ME. SORRY FOR THAT.
