International Reply Coupons (IRC's)?

Hello everyone.

This is my first post on this forum. I joined recently because I was hoping to request autographs TTM to celebrities from franchises (mainly movies or TV shows) that I like.

My question about the International Reply Coupons or IRC's is even if you already put a stamp if you're sending to a certain country (for example: a celebrity in England), and you put a British stamp on the envelope, would you still need to get some IRC's or would you not need to if you have a stamp put on the envelope yourself?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm just new to this hobby and don't want to screw up in sending off autograph requests to celebrities I like!

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! :)

If you have stamps from the country your letter is coming back from, then no you don't need an IRC :)

Just make sure the stamps you do use will cover the return postage.

Thanks!

So how much postage cost would one stamp on a envelope from Ireland to England cover?

Thanks again! :)

You would need to check out the postal service of the country your letter is coming from for that answer :)

They all have websites and price calculators.

Northern Ireland is www.royal-mail.com and Southern Ireland is www.anpost.ie
