if im just requesting a photo i dont add cardboard just write 'do not bend' on envelope, if sending a big photo i add some light cardboard to be safe (ive sent out some 5 x 7's with no cardboard and so far no problems, knock on wood)

Ringo, baby!

ive only sent cards, i dont know if photos or balls would work

i agree with the send it off and forget it, dont wait for them to come back, theyre a shot in the dark and if it happens a pleasant surprise

ask to speak to the postmaster and ask if she can order some for you and you can pick them up when they come in, dont let them give you the runaround (-:

i miss it(-:

thats a tough one, id cut the authentic autos out myself cause youre right, the sec would ruin it for me too

Just curious.....if youre in the usa and send an empty sase (8 x 10 size) to get mailed back within the usa, how much postage do you add to the envelope? any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

cool, thanks! (now i just gotta find some irc's!)

thanks for your help! if i got irc's, would 2 cover 8 x 10 from uk or france? what about 5 x 7, i tried the francepost web site but immediately got lost, have u had experience with the amount needed? Thanks!
