The Wonders of America was one of my favorites, but I loved the Celebrate the Century series that came out at the end of the 20th century. And, I wish I could get my hands on a few sheets of Andy Warhol stamps.
I don't save stamps, though. I use them, sometimes on letters/postcards to myself so that I can have the canceled stamp in my mail journal.
I have bought and saved the Elvis Stamps, Mother Theresa Stamps and the Comic Strip Stamps. I would love to see an Audrey Hepburn Stamp come out!!!
I only recently got into stamp collecting, and I didn't think anything of if until I became a postal employee. So far I have purchased and not used, one Christmas stamp, the superheros booklet, the holiday evergreens and one of each of the different priced stamps we have here at this post office. I've started putting them in with all my scrap book stuff and writing the year I got them beside it.
Simply amazing on how much of something we can sell. ^_^
The lighthouses were my favorite beyond compare! Didn't save any though.
I have the complete set of "Elvis" stamps BUT my favorite is #23 on the list: BUGS BUNNY. My next favorites are #7..DC Super Heroes & #15 The Simpsons
I have and am saving all of the above.
where are all the flag stamps...or even the forever stamps ???
I still have a sheet of Marilyn Monroe that I'm hoarding. Audrey Hepburn has already appeared on a stamp.
My husband loves Elvis so I bought a sheet at a consignment store and have them framed. I also have a few other sheets of different stamps.
