We are unable to get the 2014 USPS CVP Forever Rudolph in a 100 mile radius of New Orleans. I drove 387 miles, visited the 16 USPS post office with kiosk machines- none have it. Most still have 2014 Spiderman-2 and a few have the 2014 Flag which I am able to get. A friend sent me a couple Rudolph panes of 3 plus blank. I am in touch with the Senior Public Relations Representative of USPS Corporate Communications in New York to see why a city our size did not receive at least one USPS kiosk place to obtain Rudolph as well as to try obtain a list of USPS kiosks thru out the US where one can find these. I will post if I receive any news. This series of USPS CVP began with the 2012 Mailbox (CVP88), followed by with the 2013 Reindeer (CVP89), 2014 Spider-man I, 2014 Flag and this 2014 Rudolph. The vignette or color image is pre-printed stock and loaded in kiosk, then postage is printed (black) on demand. The pink bar on right side was dropped from use after the 2012 Mailbox. The label inscribed "T his block is not valid for postage" on these panes result in buying the minimum number of 3 stamps and the 4th label is thus voided Below are images of the CVP 2014 Rudolph & Flags.   |

Rudolph finally was uploaded in New Orleans area. Yea! While there I noticed our local USPS post office also have new CVP with pink tagged strip on left and SSK(Self Service Kiosk)on right. Six months ago they had same looking CVP but with clear tagged strip on left and APC(Automated Postal Center) on right. Below is image of stamp alone and stamp w/ label. There is a label for most types of mail.  |

After you purchase the 3 stamp minimum, you can then purchase less than 3 (I choose one, which gives me a pair with one live stamp and one not valid postage label - if you buy an even number you do not get a not valid postage label). [this for the USPS kiosks, I suspect the PB are strictly by 10's] The pink bar was replaced by a clear bar that glows a very bright slightly greenish yellow under SW UV. The one you just got with the pink stripe is probably old stock. But now you are going to make me go back and look to see if I have any with the SSK. In the mean time, have a look at this:  |

The Scott Catalog # for 2014 self adhesive die cut w/ rounded corners, Forever (49c) CVP Flag, issued 4/1/2014 is CVP91. It usually can only be found in machines that are not able to dispense ATM panes of 18 but sometimes they will be in same machine with ATM type. |

Haven't seen any reports of upcoming CVP stamps so far. While at USPS 70112 I did pick up a CVP Flag with a number starting with an A0( see bottom block) rather than last year's B ( see top single). Don't know if that is on any significance.  |

The design I picked up at the Plattsburgh NY Post Office today began with the letter "C" at the front of the number. |
