If you go to the "Collectors Help" forum, it will tell you.

But PP stand for Pre-Print.

Thanks,

VV = Via Venue

As far as IRC's and how much, that depends on what you are sending and what size envelope. Generally, I think 2-3 IRC's for an 8x10 envelope with photo will do. IRC's cost $2 each approx.

Hope that helps! Good luck! :mrgreen:

i think it would be cheaper to trade stamps with someone from the country that your sending to
but it all depends on where your sending

pp-preprint
vv-via venue (temporary location; movie set, theater, performance, etc.)

^ This is a sticky which tells you what every Autograph Abbreviation means :)

About IRC's, that depends where you are sending too and what you are sending. This topic may help you:

Alternatively you could take your letters to your post office and ask there :)
