A Flag For All Seasons Stamp Page

Good job on the page! It sounds like a good guess to me as far as tagging is concerned. Satisfies me anyway.

Robert,
Thank you for the information. It will help in a lot of other stamps I have been processing mostly the Transportation coil stamps. I really appreciate the help you all of you give to us. This is a great site.

Apastuszak the updated page is great and I am sorry if I hijacked part of this topic.

And the completed page with stamps on it:

Wonderful !

How much would you sell it for ? I would love one for my USA Flag album.

Could you do another one, stamps and all ??

Very nice indeed.

Sorry. Not for sale. If you want a blank page to mount your own stamps, I'll be happy to post a PDF for you. Let me know.

Not to hijack this thread, but for anyone who wants to get ahead of the game, the Star Spangled Banner Fireworks and Flag Stamp of 2014, as issued earlier this year (01/28/2014) in CB20 (APU) and Coils (APU) and (CCL) varieties, will have a number of other varieties, too, as it has been announced that further issues will be issued next month (03/03/2014) in CB20 and Coils, both of those varieties by printer (SSP). It is also interesting to note that the Technical Specs for the Star Spangled Banner Booklet and Coil as issued on 01/28/2013 (as per the 01/23/2014 Postal Bulletin) the (APU) varieties are printed in 4-colors; whereas the Coil (CCL) variety only is printed in 5-colors (added: 665 Purple). Also, the CB20 and Coils (APU) have microprinting whereas the other Coil (CCL) does not. And I guess we just wait and see if the USPS decides to issue an ATM18 or CB10 of the stamps later on in the year. Yet more confusion to the myriad of similar but different varieties of a stamp.

Fantastic Page!
I would love to get the PDF of the page if you would like to make it avalible.

It's part of the 2013 supplement I am working on. I'll post the individual page later on tonight.

apastuszak, that page is a pleasure to look at.
Thanks for showing it.

I haven't bought any US stamps for around 40 years but those
do have some appeal.

One question though, why such high print numbers?

The USPS Postal Bulletin of April 13, 2013 states that Ashton Potter,
Avery Dennison and Banknote Corporation (Sennett Security Printers) each printed 1 Billion coil stamps

In addition Ashton Potter and Banknote Corporation each printed another
1 billion in booklets, which totals Five billion stamps

Wow that's a lot of stamps when hardly anybody mails letters
anymore.

One more thing. Since I don't have these stamps and can't compare.

Is there a noticeable difference at first look between the
offset printed ones from AP and Banknote and the photogravure
by Avery?

One has to put in perspective the fact that definitive stamps are typically issued in the billions for every issue over the past several years and according to the just released USPS 2014 Postal Facts 22.3 billion stamps were printed in 2013, with 20.1 billion stamps actually sold during that same time.

My very highest compliments for designing such a nice page layout.

Really great team work. What type of archival paper/sources? Thank you again.

Thanks for the link wt1.

So 20 billion US stamps sold in 2013.

Ignoring the fact that not all of these where first class
domestic and not all sold where actually used on mail,
it still works out to approx 6 letters per man, woman and child in the
good old USA.
Amazing.
I didn't think the volume was still that high.
