[agree] , I do the same
So does this mean they wont bother sealing the ones I've sent? :(

well only 1 of my TTMs that i remember(since joining this site) has not been taped/licked by the envelope..and it was mark wahlberg(haha i was so afraid the photos where gone when i saw that envelope was not taped or licked,just put inside)so i think that is not such a big problem...if the person sealing the envelope as brain then they will tape/lick the envelope.,if you know what i mean!

I had a ton of those envelopes that I sent out requests in. Just so you know - they'll be fine in the mail, it's not really a big risk that they'll rip apart. You should be ok with them.

Depends on the celeb when you'll get a response - most take up to 6 months to reply.

I use that exact kind. None have come back ruined. And instead of clasping I usually just put tape.

I have never had a problem. Also, It's a cheap envelope but works the same as the rest :D

Yes they'll still seal yours, it's just self-adhesive envelopes make it much easier :)

It's totally fine. I've sent out those envelopes many times. And as far as I know, those are the only choices to send when you're requesting or sending an 8x10 :roll:.

Just tape up your envelope, and leave a note for them to tape it up when sending the SASE. Do they have self adhesive on them?
