Has anyone ever come across this before? And seeing as she's in Canada, if I were to do this I'm guessing it would be $10 in Canadian money and seeing as I'm not in Canada........... That one's got me a little confused. I can buy the international reply coupons from the postal service website, but the money is a little harder to come by.
Anyone??
?? That is fairly common, I'd have thought (eg many of the Sound of Music cast). It's all part of their income. they are not obliged to sign. You can get an international $ order. Or get Canadian $ from a bank or money changer. Of if the US$ is worth more, just send US$10. And some celebs charge you even if you send your own items (but they charge less). In this instance, you are paying for the signature. Realistically, so many of these signed items end up on eBay or with dealers, why shouldn't the celeb make some profit rathers than others profiting from the celebs signature? And they often charge less than most dealers too.
