UK second class stamps--HELP!

Unread post by FCM »

Okay, I've asked about a half dozen people this question, but no one answers. Maybe someone who hasn't read my question will find this and help. How many second class UK stamps should I put on a SASE to be mailed to my home in the USA?!! [us] :( The size envelope I use is 4 by 9.5 inches, and it's always a 4 by 6 inch photo. I'd like to get an autograph from someone like Ian McKellen, Dan Stevens, James and Oliver Phelps, and more, but I'm stuck without knowing how many second class UK stamps to put on the SASE. Help!!! :(

I'd recommend using enough to cover up to 20g.

If the celeb adds something,the envelope could well go over 10g.

Good point. I was weighing my letters and seeing if they weighed the right amount. A signed photo and SASE would weigh the right amount, but what if she/he added a letter or sorry-we-don't-do-autographs-but-here's-your-letter-and-photo-back-along-with-a-preprint note? Do you know how many stamps that would take?

If you use the price calculator already linked to, and input the weight as up to 20g, it will give you a price.
Then work out how many 0.56 it takes to meet or exceed that price {up}

I used the website, and the lowest price was 1.02 and second lowest 1.40. They both had that symbol that looked like an E. Is that the measurement of money's symbol? If so, would that mean I just need to put enough 0.56 stamps on or above that price on the envelope?

Thanks for the help. :D Few have given me clear information. :?
