New Here...Few (Possibly Dumb) Questions

I plan to begin my autograph collection soon, i plan to use 9x12 envelopes inside 10x13 envelopes, I won't be sending any photos, maybe a backing board (as in for a comic book to help with the non-bending)
my questions is: How many stamps should I put on each envelope?

And, how do i write to a celebrity without sounding like A) someone who just wants a celebrities auto and B) some kind of fanatical stalker?

Thanks

haha there not dumb questions, dont worry

First, I usually put 3 stamps on my envelope that carries a letter and a SASE and maybe a photo, so I suggest probaly 2 or 3 for yours

Neither option for the A and B thing. Just write saying how much you love them, be a fan, be nice and ask for the autograph or whatever you'd like later on. Act like the whole reason you're writing is not just because you want an autograph

Hope this helps??

well for the 9x12 put two then for the 10x13 put 3 just to be on the safe side

Maybe you could do a little research on the celeb like what movies they were in. Songs they sing, upcoming movies that kind of things

I was thinking maybe 2 stamps for each envelope, so that helps.

Hello ManOfMiracles,

Welcome to Fanmail! :D

That's a good question - not a dumb one :D It's about finding a balance in between those. I usually start off my telling a bit about myself then some about their work and what my favourite is. Just keep it casual and it'll be great :D
