I use the ones you lick, but I just tape mine shut and I've found celebrites will do the same when they send the SASE back. Keeps the seal from sticking to your photos. The self-sealing ones are nice too, but they cost a bit more money wise.

Check out My Autograph Collection! NONE are for sale or Trade. Sorry. - LIKE {up} My Official Facebook Fan Page!

DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE OUTSIDE OF AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING & INCREASING SPAMMING ISSUES I CAN NO LONGER GIVE OUT OR LOOK UP VIA VENUE OR EMAIL ADDRESSES. TOO MANY 'FANS' WITH THE WRONG COLLECTING MOTIVES ON HERE KEEP ABUSING THESE TYPES OF ADDRESSES AND END UP SELLING THE SIGNED ITEMS LATER ON FOR PROFIT {down}

The glue on self-seal envelopes goes off after a while - I've ended up with a huge box which don't stick any more. I use those on the outward journey and glue the flap down.

For the reply envelope I always use peel and seal, they are a bit more expensive but the glue lasts a lot longer.

I hate licking gummed envelopes and I wouldn't expect someone I was writing to to enjoy it either, so I don't use them.
