Yeah, I've always sent SASE, with sports cards (and the like) I always send the request in a regular size envelope and a smaller envelope for the return.

I have no idea what a SASE is. I'm brand-new to this and I've never herd of a SASE.

Bonnie, it's a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Basically, when you send a letter to a celebrity asking them to send you an autograph, you should include an envelope with your request, addressed to you and with enough postage on it for the autograph to be returned to you.

Besides being the polite thing to do, an SASE tends to improve your chances of getting an answer as the celebrity does not have to do a lot of work to send it.

Many US actors and actresses will send large photo like 8X10, so I normally send 9x12 envelopes as my SASE. But there are many UK stars who send 4x6 photos so you only need a regular sized envelope or 6X9. If the person you are writing has feedback on this site, check and see what size photo they send.

You put stamps on the outer envelope (or it won't go anywhere), and you put stamps on the SASE.
