Linn's is reporting that the USPS is changing its policy for buying coil stamps from the Stamp Fulfillment Center. Collectors will have to buy a minimum of 500 stamps from a coil where the issued coil size is 10,000 stamps. This applies to the new red pear coil stamp, with a face value of ten cents. That means if you want to buy the stamp from USPS without buying the entire coil, you will have to fork over $50.00 to get one ten cent stamp to add to your collection. Previously the minimum purchase was 100 stamps.

re: Change in Policy - USPS

it's all about the collector

I really must thank USPS. No, really. I am so much more solvent because of their changing policies. Think about it. I no longer collect mint PBs. I no longer collect mint PNCs. and, I'm nearing my own personal Lars-point, where I abandon all mint. I had been collecting the imperf press sheets, but the circus and whatever the most recent Mystic-scarfed sheet was has made it essentially unattainable.

I see they did the same thing with the new 5 cent stamp. I suppose somebody like Mystic will buy them up and sell them as rare stamps for 20 times face value.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..

The solution to the problem in three words;
"Nice postally used."
