Hi All

New to this forum
Live in UK and have been collecting for a while now but all UK signatures so far.
I am going to the USA mid October for a trip and was going to post some requests TTM while I was there to be sent back my return sase I enclose to me in the UK if I am lucky enough to get anyone to sign and send back.
My question is if I send a hardback a4 envelope enclosed in a normal a4 envelope with a lor and a couple of photos how much internally in the USA should I put value wise in u.s stamps to cover postage,also how much should I put on in u.s stamps to cover postage back to me in uk on the sase I enclose?.
Next who should I send to where I am 99% certain to get a reply (good signers)

Thank you all in advance for any help and I hope my questions make sense and do not sound like a load of gibberish lol

You shouldn't send to someone just because they'll reply. That makes no sense. Write to people you like and admire.

What?
Thanks for the input it like helped a lot!!!!!!

You need to weigh (in ounces) and measure your items, then go to usps.com to calculate the prices.

It is a little daunting on there, but once you get the hang of it you will be fine.

Investigate using a piece of card cut from a fairly thin box in an A4 envelope for return instead of board backed envelopes - it will be almost as sturdy, but a lot lighter thus reducing the amount of return postage. Plus, the US have another category of postage which covers whether the envelope bends easily or not. A board backed envelope doesn't, but a piece of card inside is fairly flexible while offering a similar degree of protection.

As Kimmylee says, you need to check the weight against the envelope size on the USPS website.

Ok guys thanks for the tips I will try the flexible card idea and invest in a lot of stamps while I am there.

Thanks Again
