Back into Autograph Collecting

Hey everyone!

After a few years of a hiatus, I am looking to get back into autograph collecting. It's been awhile, so if any of you could answer a couple questions, that'd be a major help! Thank you in advance :D

1.) How much does it normally cost to send a 4x6 photo with a LOR and SASE to someone in the USA? I am a resident in the USA as well. I remember it being a Forever Stamp on each envelope, but I'd love to know what you guys pay in-case it changed.

2.) Would you suggest keeping the letters of request around a page long? I don't want to scare off some of my favorite people to sign by writing way too much. I know celebrities don't have all the time in the world to read everything after all.

Thank you for the help!

1. Depends what size sase and outer envelope you send. I send 6x9s with my 4x6 photo and it is still a forever stamp-they are currently worth .49. I also have sent a large sase in a 6x9 with a photo and letter and it goes up the 2ounce price-about .70

2. I have done a couple letters that were more than a page but most I keep at one page.

Thank you very much for the reply! I'm glad it's still a Forever stamp to send them out. Seems like the site is a lot less active than before I left, but glad it's still up and running.
