I received not 1, 2, or 3, but 4 emails from the USPS today notifying me that my no-die cut Made in America Press Sheet, ordered after it disappeared from the Press Sheet page, had shipped!


The multiple e-mails sounds like a computer glitch, unless maybe they're sending you more than one order!

Anyway, here's another weird thing about the Made in America Press Sheet (without die cuts). You can still order them at this link:

https://store.usps.com/store/browse...tPressSheets

BUT ... if you go to the USPS Store's website and attempt to order the item using the SKU No. 471508, you get this error:



I think the USPS Store has a computer glitch somewhere in their system and it seems to me that it is ultimately costing them sales because of the confusion.

My thoughts exactly! I guess more chances for others.

only one t-shirt available, the picture shows the front and back of the shirt. I ordered a no-die cut press sheet (8-9-13) of the Made In America using the link on the previous page and got a confirmation by email that the sheet was shipped. Also this is the 6th one I ordered and they filled the order even though they say that the maximum order for the press sheet is 5.

I think you can indirectly order as many Press Sheets as you like. The restriction seems to be that there's a maximum of five PER order. So if you're willing to place multiple orders and pay the extra shipping charge to do so, you can order more than five. (On the USPS Store's website, if you attempt to order six or more Press Sheets, you'll get an error message that there's a limit of five per order.)

I have no interest in the T-Shirt, but it is interesting to note that the website shows the T-Shirt is "Made in USA" which is refreshing to see.

One has to wonder if the USPS does this intentionally (i.e. making it difficult to find the right link for the Press Sheets "without die cuts") and then keeping them available for those who know how to access that link for quite awhile thereafter.

ebay BIN prices notwithstanding, we all know these things aren't going to make you rich by profiting on a so-called "limited edition" item. If you really want them, you'll find that they're available.

There is much confusion about this issue. I have placed several orders between July 26 and 30, only one was fulfilled; the rest were cancelled. The USPS is probably limiting 5 units per household; thus changes the rules. The telephone call to the Ordering Dept. and Claim Dept. confirmed that situation. Therefore additional units are still available, because the multiiple orders were cancelled. The whole limited issues are sickening, changing the rules during the way. It is a case for serious complaint against USPS.

Just remove the priority mail tape that is around the tube and the top 1/3 of the tube will come off.

Has anyone taken a close look at the Millinery Apprentice Stamp (3rd stamp in top row) on the Made in America stamps? What's with the white blotch in the UL corner of the stamp? Was it an imperfection in the original photograph that was simply transferred onto the Made in America stamp? (One would think that would have been edited out of the final copy.)



Also, in the Derrick stamp (2nd stamp in top row) there's what looks like a smudge toward the top of the stamp, as highlighted here:



Again, one would think these imperfections would have been edited out of the actual stamps, but then again, maybe they wanted to keep with the actual appearance of the original photographs (imperfections and all).

When the set of stamp consists of so many images, individual stamps within it tend to get overlooked..
