This was mentioned previously in SCF, but here's a news article from AP today to support it:

http://www.boston.com/business/arti...=Upbox_links

Also, here's Fox News announcing the 2011 Stamp Program:

http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpps/new...228_11234342

As a stamp collector, I'm not sure I appreciate the way Fox News presented this quote:

Quote:
"Collectors, the elderly and people whose computers are broken will have a new selection of stamps to choose from next year..."

(...and the reader comment at the bottom of the news article was definitely not from a stamp collector!)

The Fort Sumter issue is a lot more attractive than the 1961 issue.

Here's a new stamp made just for the non-collector commenter in the article.

Now, as collectors, we will be figuring out all the possible papers and gums and perfs and cancels and usages this stamp will have. Fun fun.

You got the idea! Personally, I like this one better (too bad it won't issued for New Year's though):

They will be a challenge to cancel, too!

Can one place these on the envelope so that they get canceled by the phosphorescent bar codes?
