Just surfing ebay early this morning looking at various year sets of the 90's. Finding most of them being more than I want to spend, I came across this BIN listing that the seller had on sale at 50% off his normal price. Obviously a seller that doesn't deal with stamps.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/22113309951....m1439.l2649

USPS yearbook sets - 92, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, and 99. All but 2 still sealed
+ 5 of those commemorating the decades sheets - 1900s through 1950s

everything for $102 delivered. I would think face value alone on the stamps would far exceed that price.

Love it that those sets come with all the various sized mounts too.

My wife used to buy me year books from the USPS in the 90s. The books are really nice. The only snags you will run into are:

1. No definitives
2. Se-tenants are not always in Scott order
3. Multiple varieties are not present (SSP vs. AP, etc)

Other than that, this is one heck of a deal!

Thanks - I guess waking up at 3am for the 2nd night in a row due to the clocks changing had an advantage this year. Now my Mystic Volume 4 is gonna be gaining a bunch of weight.

I'm really psyched to be getting all these in one package.

Just got caught up with scanning my Mystic album through 99 this weekend too. Basically gonna be doing all that over again.

Yes I have purchased some year books for 10-12 dollars...usually I will pay close to the postage value enclosed..not the $50-60 bucks the original buyer paid ...check the thrift shops !!
