Hi, I'm completely new to autograph-collecting (and to this site) and I'm a bit confused as to what I need to do to begin my adventure of (hopefully) collecting some autographs from my favourite celebrities. I'd be hugely grateful to anyone who can help me with these queries that I have, but please note that I live in the UK and so certain things that need to be done in relation to US postage, may not be relevant to me.
Firstly, is it the norm to find a picture of your chosen celebrity online (ie via google images) and then get that image printed on photo paper? If so, what size of photograph paper should the image be printed on to and which size roughly should the image be online (to avoid the image becoming distorted)?
Also, does the enclosed self-addressed/stamped envelope need to also be weighed at a post office with the photo (and perhaps a piece of card to avoid bending) enclosed so that any excess weight is already paid for?
I search Google for large images, upload to a photo print website, edit then order prints. There are lots of websites and all have free introductory prints. Plus places like Snapfish have discounts and free p&p all the time.
For domestic mail UK has quite large weight bands so its up to you if you want to check. I don't personally because my SASEs go nowhere near the border limits. You can weigh them yourself at home if you've kitchen scales for example.
