2012 Mystic Heirloom Supplement Now Listed For Sale

http://www.mysticstamp.com/viewProd...sp?sku=GS759

no mention of preorder so I figured I'd order my 2011 and 12 at the same time last Thursday.

The 2011 supplement showed up yesterday with the 2012 listed as backordered :(

oh well, thought it was kind of early anyway but since it didn't say preorder, I jumped right on it

My 2012 supplement arrived today.

They added a new section for the imperfs. Pages are # IMPxxx

Pretty good sized supplement.

Let me know if anyone has any questions about it. I'll try to have it scanned on my site over the weekend if I find the time

I'm quite surprised that Mystic is including the imperfs. Frankly I hope they stop after the 2012 supplements, especially since Scott is only "footnoting" them. Scott and anyone with half a brain knows that USPS isn't marketing the imperfs to be postally used. They're just counting on us idiotic collectors to snap up these imperf press sheets. No more for me. It was amusing to dabble in them during 2012, but I'll never spend another dime on USPS gimmicks.

At least they're not numbered in line with the regular issue pages so they can be ignored. I only have one anyway.

Of course they are, they have to if they want to have their customers continue to buy them (at $1.85 per stamp...)

Mystic bought a bunch of imperfs, so they're going to include space for them in their albums. Though the Heirloom is a good, reasonably priced album, it's geared towards you buying stamps from them. If Mystic didn't have imperfs to sell, they would not have included pages for them in their album.

I should add that they did finish the Distinguished Americans series - page 917

and added a new page for the Civil War sheet of 2011 - page 1254.2
