United States 1995 Stamp Cards

My Favourite, by 12yo Christie Millard
50 million stamps would be printed.
"A cleaner World"

To expand the topic slightly, the USPS has made several sets of trading cards. What I can find handy...

Here is an unfolded view of the front and back of the tri-fold "1995 Treasury of Stamp Cards" as partly shown in the original post:


And the front/back of a similar tri-fold from 1996:


(I seem to recall one other annual tri-fold in this era, but cannot find it right now, so it may not exist except in my imagination.)

From 1996, a set of pre-cut "Souvenir Stamp Saver Cards" corresponding to Scott 3105a-o, endangered wildlife issue. Photo shows wrapper, a pack of mounts in a glassine, a cover card, 15 animal cards, and an ending card. Second photo is the reverse side.



From 1998, a set of pre-cut "Stampers Savers Cards" corresponding to Scott 3238-3242. Photo shows a full pack, then the parts as the wrapper, a pack of mounts in a glassine, the cover card, the 5 cards related to the stamps, and an ending card. Second photo is the reverse side.



The Stampers Program was to encourage youth to collect, etc.

Informative, thanks !
Moreover, impressed how you managed to get such a large collection,
in such an image on SCF.
I presume a Camera on a tripod.

Australia produced similar rouletted cards I recall Antarctica set.
Did not last very long. Perhaps unpopular.

The USPS created stamped cards in an effort to get children into collecting stamps. This was a failure but it does open a new avenue for collecting with a definite beginning and a definite end.

USPS - They didn't learn the most important lesson that the card companies have in recent years. Print less and make them hard to find.
