I am gonna try to get back in my autograph collecting I got out of it for a while because of many faild attemps and shortage of money and I have a question if anyone can help me.

I have never done anything but send out fanmail without paying for return and was wondering how an SASE works at a postoffice ? and the price?

Whatever you want signed you and assume will be returned to you should count as the weight. Other than that it is just like a normal outer envelope. Slip it inside your outer envelope with what you want signed, and an LOR. Is this the info you need?? I was a little unclear. If not please specifiy!!

so what you would do is:

well you would write your letter and if you provide a photo put it in the envelope and ask the post office to weigh it...then you would just take the photo and stick it in the sase and ask them to weigh it again and then they will give you a price...

if you use a 8x10 photo here are the prices:

envelope to the celeb: $1.20
SASE that comes back to you: 98 cents (about)

or if you want you can just put three USA stamps on each envelope...VERY EASY...I DO THIS! :) :)

:) do ya get it? {up}

I am just sending a letter a and photo and wanna help my chances of getting it back signed I am sending it in a 9X12 envelope.

So this means I have to get a smaller envelope and take it with my address wrote in return and the other wrote in the sending and weight it and then stick it in my envelope is there an easier way such as putting a stamp on it or putting a few $ in it cause I am sending mine to Nashville which is only 2 hrs from here.
