If you are not sending a photo...should you still send a SAE

Hi, total newbie here. If you are not sending a photo (because you don't have any! And don't have the money to buy some, etc.) but would still like to send a "fan" letter, should you still send a SAE? I mean, in theory, if a celeb is willing to respond, I'd like to make it easy for them...but then if you're not sending a photo, etc. for them to sign, how would you know what size envelope, etc., etc. to send?

Or would it be better to just send a letter and leave it at that?

Nowadays with images online, I suppose it's not so hard to download and print them off yourself...but is the quality worth it then?

Thanks in advance for advice/feedback.

[I get that collecting autographs is an expensive endeavor, with photos, stamps, envelopes, etc.)

Most people I'm am sending a photo to so I send a sase that size (6x9 for small photo). If I'm not sending a photo and hope they respond, I usually send a 9x12 envelope so any photo will fit.

UK stars usually have small photos so a 6x9 will work for them but USA stars I send a 9x12

Hope this helped!
