I was doing some internet research and came upon this. If you thought postage stamps were used just for postage, think again! I don't really want those used stamps.

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

Hi

USPS take note. A new marketing area to increase profits. I would like to see what they would use for a subject.

I wonder. Would Medicare pay for the stamps
