When you think of the sheets of stamps that you own, which one stands out in your mind the most as your favorite? This is my sheet of Scott #1734.





No Mr. Zip!? This is 1978. Didn't Mr. Zip go out in 1986?

Mr. ZIP wasn't used on all issues, as in this case, some issues simply used the phrase "Use Correct ZIP Code" instead. Remember, the 13-cent Indian Head Stamp was an Experimental Stamp only available in five major cities nationwide.



Believe it or not, news reports at the time quoted the USPS as having said that the "future use of the small format [stamp], if warranted by test results, would produce significant cost savings." How times have changed!

Apparently the "experiment" flopped as I believe only this one and the Dolley Madison stamp were the only ones ever issued in the 150 pane size, which was not very popular with the general public.

Mine is either the #630 Battle of White Plains, but that one I don't have yet. My other favorite, possible absolute favorite is the #735 Byrd's Arctic Expedition SS.

My favorites out of the few I own as I do not collect sheets, are Scott #630 and Scott #3130/31. Excuse the quality of the pictures I took a quick snap of them for the post.

Ugh are my pictures showing upside down and such? On my PC they look fine but on mobile they're how I held the camera which wasn't upright.
