2023 US Stamp Designs Announced

I hope they issue a stamp even though some accounts may have stated it was 3 hour tourist cruise.

The big year should be 2026.

revcollector is right about the US Flags issues; however, I enjoy them. Problem is, the last few issues with rolls of 100/3000/10,000 make it very expensive to collect since they stopped selling strips of 25 or so forcing us to have to go to aftermarket to purchase a PNC5, pair and single with back numbers that are marked up beyond average collector's range including those of us just on Social Security. If would seem the Stamp Fulfilment Center would allow is to purchase strips of 25-30 as they have in the past and still do with many other coil issues. They should allow us to purchase these strips of 3K and 10K stamps.

This seems like the kind of situation that organizations like the APS could solve by purchasing rolls and making the strips available at cost.

Is the Oneco, CT postmaster allowed to sell relatively small strips (25-30 stamps) from large coil rolls?

The Oneco Post Office will sell you smaller strips from large coils.

The USPS offered strips of 25 from large rolls of the 2022 Flag issue as well as the First Class Forever Mountain Flora issue. Item numbers are/were as follows:

2022 US Flag
strip of 25 from 3K coil - 750703
strip of 25 from 10K coil - 760903

Mountain Flora
strip of 25 from 3K coil - 750903
strip of 25 from 10K coil - 761103

I'm not sure if any of these are still available. The 3K roll of the US Flag is no longer listed on the USPS website or in the most recent USA Philatelic.

Yes, the Oneco, CT postmaster will sell you small amounts unless there is a restriction, such as multi-different stamps on a pane of 20. I have purchased as few as 30 stamps from a coil roll and as many as 500. He has a good selection of stamps, but cannot sell press sheets.

I wonder if the Roy Lichtenstein issue will eventually have the same desirability as the 37c Andy Warhol that sells for 2x face value? Both are of the same art genre.
