AWESOME! All is forgiven USPS for constantly raising the postage randomly to odd amounts (44 cents really?)

That would be awesome! Wonder if the USPS will do other products like they did for Bugs Bunny Stamps? Like framed art, postcards, comics, mugs, keychains, etc.
I wonder - This announcement did release on April Fools day...

The article I read was more complete and said that the preview next week would include information on the release date and how to pre-order (online no doubt).
So be sure to check the USPS web site on the 9th!

the USPS and Fox has licensed PostageStampArt.com to sell prints of the stamps but not until the stamps are released on the 9th. They will have all the stamps available as posters, prints, and framed artwork. I don't know about any other type of merchandise??? |

Waste of money. Even the simpsons would make fun of this mass marketed collectibles. I try to only collect the REAL stuff, not this dribble. I mine as welll
start collecting talking homer mugs
LOL, what ever floats your boat I guess. |

Looks like It's not a April Fools joke after all. There was an article is USA Today (April 9) and it said to go to www.usps.com/simpsons - which will
redirect you HERE.
Ugh. Giclee prints for sale too. I hate Giclees. There's also a chance to win a autographed poster from Matt Groening. Woo-Hoo!

Geez! I feel like Vinnie Babarino, "I'm so confused". As a collector what would you purchase from the post office? I really don't see myself
buying the framed stamps! eddiesrocks

This is what's known as a "crossover collectible". There is a huge collector market for stamps and philatelic material in general, it's one
of the most common collector groups in existence. So these will appeal to both Simpsons collectors and Stamp collectors, making them even more collectible and
therefore valuable. Maybe.
All I know is it just cost me $350 for everything. Hopefully they will hold their value at *least*

Hi G.G.,
Did you buy 2 sets for that $350? It looks like $175 for a complete set on these ! eddiesrocks

OK I bought the first day issue cancellation package but passed on the giclee print of the 5 stamps, not b/c I don't want it; I simply do not have the wall
space to hang it.
