Hey. I am a little confused by your post and what you are asking. Can you please say it in a different way? If you are asking about how to main it, I would recomment sending it in a box, I don't thing envelopes really would work. But remember sending the ball to an athlete will cost a lot and then giving them money and another box to return it in may get tricky. I'm stumpt on this one, but it I am totally talking about something else ignore what I just said.

Hi Abergeron21

What I would do, is mail out the ball in a well-padded envelope (jiffy etc) and enclose another one inside for the celeb to use to mail it back. Obviously affix the return postage to the return envelope as usual.

With regard to the cost, you will need to package up what you are sending out (but don't seal it yet), then check out this link to establish the postage costs: http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=14167

Then affix the correct stamps to the return envelope and to the "outside" mailing envelope. Then seal it all up and mail it!

I would suggest taking it to the post office to get it weighed accurately.

Hope this helps!
