I got so fed up with the USPS and the volume of commemorative issues that I specialized in regular issues. But I had so many nice souvenir sheets I couldn't stop collecting them. So then, the line between souvenir sheet and USPS rip-off got blurred. In general, I look for sheets with some selvage art beyond a title, and no sheets with just 20 copies of the same stamp.

That's still quite a range of collectibles. I particularly love my bicentennial sheets, of course the classics, AMERIPEX presidents, WWII, Columbus, and the Nature of America series.

Things started to get bad with Legends of the West, Legends of Hollywood, and the like. But I do like Movie Monsters. In general, I see mini-sheets as a way for the USPS to rip you off for 20x the price of the commemoratives I stopped collecting because they were too expensive.

I would like dinasaurs if the sheets were a tad smaller. And I hate the Century series because they are too expensive for a kid to collect. How can a kid drop $32 in one year for essentially one issue.
