I would like to get a set of both the US and Solomon Islands decade souvenir sheets. What would be a good price for them? Is there any place I could get them online? I would prefer to get them from a local stamp shop, but there are not any around here that I know of. Maybe someone knows good places to buy stamps in North East Illinois.
Jim, if you mean the sheets of stamps depicting the 20's 30's etc..many post offices still have them on hand..ask for them they will probably be happy to sell them off !!
James, you would be surprised what some of the smaller PO's have in their coffers! It's always worth asking - especially if there is a sympathetic clerk working there.
I've gone into biggest post office near here and watched clerks putting all kinds of commems on packages just before a rate change. Ten to fifteen years ago they had a "philatelic window" but not any more. As Greg says, some of the smaller post offices in your area might just have things the larger ones disposed of long ago.
