I just want to ask 3 questions:
Today I bought my fisrt IRC. It's not stamped, does it matter?
I want to send it to Josh Duhamel. Which of the 2 addresses in the database do you suggest? The Gersh Agency or Las Vegas address?
Is 1 IRC enough to receive an autograph from him if I live in South Africa? There was only 1 IRC left at the post office, all the other postal offices are sold out!
Thank you!!

Hi Lizanne
To answer your questions:
1. It generally doesn't matter if it isn't stamped, although preferable if it is. If possible, take it back to the post office and ask the staff member to stamp it on the left hand side in the box where the ZA letters are. A stamp is not required for it to be exchanged in the US.

3. 1 IRC covers postage of the minimum cost of a letter sent via air mail to anywhere in the world. Generally, you'll need 2 IRC's if a larger photo is sent (such as an 8x10 inch). If you're having trouble getting a second IRC, by all means send 1 IRC with your request. It's better than sending none, and celebrities have been known to "top up" the postage to the required amount.
Good luck!

2. Looking at Josh's feedback on this forum (http://www.fanmail.biz/feedback/Josh_Duhamel.html), it looks like the successes from him have come from the Gersh Agency address. I think you will have a better chance of reply if you write c/o his agent.b. Under Universal Postal Union's regulations member countries are not required to place a control stamp or postmark on the international reply coupons that they sell. Therefore some foreign issue reply coupons which are tendered for redemption may bear the name of the issuing country (generally in French) rather than the optional control stamp or postmark. Such coupons are exchangeable for U.S. postage as specified in 372.3b.
