hello, i am in the USA and I am sending only 1 trading card to London and 1 to The Netherlands. Does anyone know how many IRC's I need? 1 .41c stamp covers the postage within the US.
Thanks for your help! {thumb2}

Hey there -
You should only need one IRC. Although, I would personally send 2 just in case the celebrity wishes to send you an additional photo, etc.

Thanks! I will do just that. How much is each IRC worth/cost? I have not sent anything internationally yet.

Do you mean how much they cost at the post office? It usually depends on the Post Office. I've seen IRC's cost anywhere from $2-$7. If you were asking how much postage they can be redeemed for, 1 IRC = The cost to mail an one ounce letter domestically. Which reminds me, I overlooked the part of your first post where you mentioned that you were sending overseas. You will need to include 2-3 IRC's. Not just 1 IRC. Sorry, my bad.

1 IRC should cover a standard-sized envelope from anywhere in the world to the US. As trading cards are small, 1 IRC should be sufficient per request.
As you're sending requests overseas, you'll also need to pay international postage rates. I believe for a 1oz standard envelope it'll cost $0.90.

In the US, I believe they cost $2.00 per coupon.
