Stamp Story - Better than Nothing
In my continuing quest for stories in the mainstream press about stamps and stamp collecting, I ran across this piece in the Houston Chronicle today. Short, sweet, better than nothing I suppose. It would have been nice to see some pictures of the stamps. I suppose it’s possible there were pictures in the print version. I’ll put some pics here.
The article does bring up a good point, though. The rates go up to 42 cents on May 12, which means now is a good time to go and stock up on Forever stamps! 
I bought some yesterday. It’s too bad they don’t have forever commemoratives…
Though the Breast Cancer stamp comes close to the same concept, and is definitely a worthwhile purchase, even if it does cost more than the first class stamps. It’s my understanding that this stamp has recently been extended to 2011, and will stay the same price until then. With more than $50 million raised since the beginning, you can’t argue that this is highly successful campaign. Okay, enough rambling….
