Depends on where is it going. In the US to another US address ony needs one stamp. Overseas you need 0.98 in stamps.

I use 0.61$ for postage. Most playbills weigh more then an ounce sometimes over two-- but many members report success with 1 stamp (.44). Personally I rather pay the correct postage then risk no getting it back. But it is up to you one stamp does work sometimes but I believe the correct postage is 0.61$ for the US.

Geez, I took my envelope to the post office along with a Playbill to get the correct weight and they told me $1.39! :shock: So I've been putting double the amount on?!
I need to talk to the lady at my PO. {down}

Just checked http://www.usps.com and the woman at the post office charged me for a "large" envelope at 4oz! I use a 6x9! :cry: Just found my postal scale and weighed the envelope and Playbill myself and it came to 2.2oz (I used an older Playbill that was a little heavier to be safe). According to the USPS site that means $0.78 because it's over 2oz.

Finally found the best and cheapest way to get Playbills. Get 6x9 envelopes that don't have the metal tabs. The Post Office charges an extra $0.20 when using the ones with the metal tabs because they aren't machine friendly with their sorting machines. I found white 6x9 envelopes without the metal tabs at Staples. I put $0.44 on the envelope I am using to mail the request and SASE and $0.78 on the SASE. I have received 5 Playbills. Still waiting on 14.

Sorry if my post above was misleading. I don't buy Playbills. I was just trying to explain the best envelopes and postage to use when requesting them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
