SASE is a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. You put your address in the middle of the envelope, and put stamps in the upper right hand corner.

Hi Xingnor,

When sending a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to another country, you need to have that countries stamps on the return envelope. You can trade or buy different countries a few ways. You can call that countries post office and ask them to send you some stamps when you buy them. You can all go on the "Autographs For Sale / Exchange" to see if anyone is selling stamps or the "Wanted" forum on this site and see if anyone would want to trade stamps.

I hope I answered your question. {thumb2}

Thanks you sure did :)

Hmm ill have to see how ill do this then, the lack of a credit card makes it quite hard to actually buy anything in America or trade anything as well, and considering i live in Norway i would need quite a lot of stamps... so ill have to see what i can do here in Norway first...

Ill have a talk with the post office when i get home

Cheers

Gard, I will not (hopefully) confuse you by giving more advice. Those that have answered your questions seem to have covered every thing well. All I will say is welcome to autograph collecting. It is a fine hobby, and one that I have been involved in for nearly 40 years. Please be patient and try not to get frustrated if you don't get responses right away. I have gotten a few responses that have taken over a year, but when they arrive they are a nice surprise and worth the wait.

Don't worry you didn't confuse me but you did impress me.

Ill have to wait for a while to start now, need to get some stamps. I'm going to the UK at the end of the month and ill buy stamps then, and not sure about the USA...

I might start with a few Norwegian athletes and artist. :D
