I'm from the UK and I want to get autographs from the USA and IRC isn't available to me and stamps from the USA are hard to get or expensive so I was wondering is it ok to send mail requesting for a autograph if it includes letter, photo, self addressed envelope and $?
If it's ok how much is appropriate?
Thanks
Is it ok to send cash instead of stamps?

Re: Is it ok to send cash instead of stamps?
r u gonna send US $$?
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop. Bow Down! #StayMadHaters

2-3 dollars for a normal letter. Maybe an extra dollar if you are doing an 8x10princesscharliemc wrote:I'm from the UK and I want to get autographs from the USA and IRC isn't available to me and stamps from the USA are hard to get or expensive so I was wondering is it ok to send mail requesting for a autograph if it includes letter, photo, self addressed envelope and $?

What I would really recommend is leaving the envelope unsealed, finding out how much it is going to cost to send to the US... and putting that much money in so they can send it back, rounded up to the next dollar.

Re: Is it ok to send cash instead of stamps?
Yeah, cash is always the 2nd best option besides actual stamps. I would NEVER recomend IRC's... they're a big hassle for everyone involved.
If you're sending a normal 4x6 pic or notecard to be signed, $1 would be fine (it only costs $1.05 to ship normal sized letters internationally). I don't think any celeb would mind covering that extra 5 cents. If you you send anything around the size of a 5x7 pic, $2 minimum. For a 8x10 pic, $3-$4 would be good.

Re: Is it ok to send cash instead of stamps?
Yes, I sent a dollar to the Diamondbacks to send back one of my 4x6 pictures because I couldn't fit another envelope in. I sent a poster to Dan Majerle and sent him $1.50 to send it back in a manila envelope. I should've sent him more, because I haven't gotten it back yet. The thing is, I used two stamps and I believe since it was in state that was sufficient to send a manila envelope with. It made it there because I spoke with his assistant, but I haven't gotten it back yet because he's been in Nevada.
