Contents of the Envelope, please help I am a noob!

Unread post by TakenRaikovv »

Hi, I live in Canada ( [ca] ) and I am new to autograph collecting. I was just wondering what exactly you need to send from Canada to the USA for an autograph. Please be specific like envelope size, picture size, what I need to put on and in the envelope and the SAE, how many IRC's do I need and where to put them, which order contents go in, etc.). Also can I print them on my photo printer at home or does it need to be professionally printed?


P.s. The photo paper I have is 8.5 x 11 in./po. + 190 g/m2 51 lb. 9.4 mil.


Thank you very much for the help!
Desired Autographs: Micheal C. Hall, Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Johnny Galecki, and Mark Wahlberg.

they charge $5 to send your letter for you? If it's not a scam, then it is a ripoff. it says they send the letters for you for that price, but it doesnt say anything about sending a SASE for you. so your paying $5 for them to send a .44 letter(if they even do that) and the celeb would have to pay postage back to you

this comes from that website
It's very simple! Fill out the letter form located here. You will include your name, email, return mailing address, choose the celebrity that you want to write, type the letter, then click 'submit and continue to secure checkout'. Once you pay the $5 dollar fee, we take over from there.

We then transpose your letter into a fine, handwritten print on an attractive letterhead. Next, we place your letter in our unique and noticeable pink envelope. In addition to your letter, we will include a special "please respond request". We then seal your letter with our official and authentic PinkLetter inked stamp. Finally, we repeat this process and send out your letter to all applicable addresses. All letters will have your return address on the envelope and letter to ensure that any response is sent directly to you! Click here to learn more

Basically just use your own common sence for the envelope and picture size,its not brain surgery to know what size envelopes you need for the pictures you send & yes you can print your own photos.As far as postage goes i would suggest getting your hands on u.s. postage stamps and forget irc's you will go broke buying those.

Thank you very much for the help. I really appreciate it, and I'm sorry for this noob question just don't want to wait +3 months and have it get messed up. 2 more question how many IRC's should I put in the envelope but if I can get a hold of U.S. stamps those go on the SAE, and on the SAE do I put return address as mine as well as the mailing address (Both Mine)?

Im not really good with IRCs, I usually try to get stamps from the country Im sending but I think it takes 2 or 3, yes you can put your address as the return address(I usually do) or you can leave the return address blank
