Autograph Requests?

I need help with mailing autograph requests.
Where exactly do you get the photo of the celebrity you mail to be signed?
And just so I'm clear what do you send with the envelope if you're sending it abroad, stamps of your country, an airmail sticker, and a reply coupon with the request?

I don't mean to come across as stupid, but I'm no really used to doing this.

Thanks

You find the photo you want and print it yourself or at an online printers, or print store.

You send an envelope in an envelope, including the photo(s) you want signed.

The envelope you're sending includes stamps from your country, the envelope inside includes stamps from their country.

Make sure to weigh the parcel before sending so you know how much postage to apply each way.

Many questions like this are asked almost daily, most definitely weekly.

Ah right, so the envelope inside the bigger one is self addressed and you stick a stamp from their country on it, but stick a stamp from your country on the outer envelope.
Do you get the stamp of their country from the post office along with an airmail sticker?

Also I'm still a bit confused with printing out pictures. How do you print out a full HD picture to laminate?

Laminate?

This in my opinion is the worst idea, to laminate a photo.

Printing can be done easily, you can use aldiphotos or dscolourlabs with good results, you'll probably want to print several to make it worthwhile, so print various people you want to send to and then order.

You'll need to research online and find the photos yourself, there's not an exact strategy, you just look and hope you'll find high resolution photos you can print, of course you will need appropriate sizes for whatever size photos you want, ie; 6x4, 10x8, 12x8 etc

Google images or try the website of the person(s) you want, you just have to search through Google.

You could try Global Forever stamps, widely available on ebay, or there is plenty of others to choose from all over ebay, it just takes research to find something you're happy to use.

Ah right, so you print the selected photo through a printing website so that its on card rather than normal paper.

Global Forever Stamps, I've never heard of them, are they stamps that can be sent from anywhere? Do they sell them in UK post offices?

You can find them on ebay, to use on the return envelope from the US.

Global Forever Stamps are stamps from the US :) You could buy them from eBay like said above or even from the United States Postal Service website {up}

Absolutely.

I think it could be cheaper via ebay, and I would buy in bulk to reduce the overall price.

The USPS accepts online stamp orders through their website for US shipping only.

For orders needing International shipping they will accept them by telephone (I believe) or through their eBay shop.

Alternatively you could get several $1 bills and send those (well concealed).

Feel free to browse this section of the forum for more info because this question gets asked (and answered) continually.
