Ok, I'm kind of new to sending over sea's. I am wanting to send to a few players from Manchester United. But I'm not sure what size of SAE I should send for one. Don't they usually just send back signed cards?
And for two, I'm not sure how many IRC's I should send. That depends on the size of the SAE correct??

I have no idea about Man United, you may want to go a search on others successes. With Irc's you may want to send 2 or 3, its easier if you just send $1, that's what I do because it is less expensive than IRC's and easier.

Also, I'm writing for my friend who is here as an exchange student from Norway. She has no idea I'm doing it. But she might leave in December. Do you know if I sent now about how long it would take on average for me to get anything back?

Depends on the player and how much mail they have. I've seen van der Sar take less than a week, but Ronaldo take more than a year...

I would include 2 IRC's and the waiting time depends on the player, plus add 1 or 2 weeks to that time for posting to a different country. {thumb2} :D

Hope that helps! :D

It also depends on if the player is injured etc. Ronaldo can sometimes be quick if you send just before he signs a batch.

Thanks to all of you. I sent out two to Manchester United today. I sent to Nemanja Vidic and Edwin Van Der Sar. And I sent to the Dutch player Rafael Van Der Vaart. I only sent a letter and a SAE with these three just to see what happens. The next three that I will send tomorrow I will include two IRC's in each. How much do IRC's cost anyway?? I will let you all know if I get anything back.
