2015 USPS Issues... News? Thoughts? Opinions?

Format of which one?

The Charlie Brown Christmas and Geometric Snowflakes will be in booklet of 20 format.

I along with acanalizo am glad for the release of the Charlie Brown stamps for my granddaughters and students. They are excited about the releases. I think that anything that can be used to encourage stamp collecting is a good thing. I recently went to the Minnesota show and saw nothing but old men and women there sitting on chairs in front of old dealers critically analyzing one of a hundred different Washington stamps. Kids have no interest in that. Allison my older granddaughter is planning on an entire notebook of the Charlie Brown stamps. I meant no disrespect to anyone

sdtom, excellent points.

I choose not to collect stamps that are aesthetically unappealing to me, and which cannot be easily removed from their backing paper.

Don't make me show you the One Direction design...

We won't be seeing another yearbook only Souvenir Sheet like they foisted on us last year.

Eyeonwall, I hope you are right. But I think the damage is done!

Peter

There is still time for a souvenir sheet

Have been informed that the order number for strips of 25 of the new Spectrum Eagle is 788531.

sd - while there is still time, the new person in charge of Stamp Services indicated it will not happen

Peter - yes, some damage was done. I feel the unverts and the flood of imperfs is worse than one resticted S/S. We shouldn't be seeing another unvert, but it looks like we are stuck with the imperfs.

JL: what is SF asking for a buy price... (I forgot what the per-stamp price is??)

elegies: $6.25 for a strip of 25 ... cost per stamp is 25-cents. That doesn't include the $1.30 shipping. If you have other stamps to order, the shipping "feels" cheaper. If your total order reaches $50, the shipping fee rises to $1.85.

I hope you're right but I just feel like we're getting so much information that may or may not be true

JL: thanks for the info. I am putting an interim SF order together so I will be trying to keep it under the $50 but even the $1.85 isn't as obscene as an AMOS minimal order s&h, which I am also putting together.
