Gorgeous Apple stamps
I think I am salivating.

The tree certainly knew what it was doing,
in attracting predators to spread its seeds.

As unusual as they are for Aussies,
I immediately see Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

I believe the artwork on the 2013 Muscle Car series is very nice... Here is a redacted fuzzy image of one of them...

Honestly, every time I see a new U.S. stamp, I'm thankful I don't collect new U.S. stamps. It's not just the absurd number they release, it's the horrible designs. The fact is, I hardly even use the USPS anymore, I think we buy a new booklet of stamps maybe once or twice a year, everything is electronic and for the things that do go through the mails, it's all printed postage anyhow. I just cannot support the USPS stamp program, I sure wouldn't collect it and frankly, if this was what all stamps looked like and how they were released, I wouldn't collect at all.

Thanks, USPS for driving away lots of collectors. You've earned your slide into oblivion.

I love the apple and bridge stamps...

But I'm not so sure about the puffin stamp. It's very attractive, but do we actually have puffins in the USA?

It's been previously reported that the stamps consisting of the car series "America on the Move" this year will be Muscle Cars of the 60s and 70s, specifically:

1966 Pontiac GTO
1967 Shelby GT 500
1969 Dodge Charger
1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

Hmmmmmmm... If the erasure is at all close to the actual design... Not a Chevelle... not a Charger... possibly the Mustang... Not the GTO...

As for not collecting US stamps, I agree they have alienated many collectors, but to basically ban the USPS from your life sort of goes against being a stamp collector of any sort. Just an opinion in response to an opinion...

There's a difference between being a collector and a sucker. Just sayin'.
