New postage stamp

It will be available on June 9th. The forever is crossed out so it can't be counterfeited.

Thank you for posting this!

I don't like that they crossed out the FOREVER to prevent counterfeiting.

It won't be crossed out on the actual stamps.

Can't remember the last time I bought a stamp.

Saw these at the PO last month - need to swing by and get a sheet before they're gone.

The crossed out word is ONLY for the online pic. The real ones won't have it.

One of the grands is all in to the memorabilia and I think they have been put on a reserve list.

Glad someone explained why the FOREVER was crossed out. Otherwise, to me it appears that the stamp can't be used "forever" at the same price when purchased.

So it is not a forever stamp? I just heard on the news postage stamps are going up again. I don't use a lot of stamps and I guess neither do others, thus the demand is down so the price goes up.

@Catch71

You are correct. Stamps will be 82 cents in July.

If anyone needs stamps, pick 'em up now.

Thanks for telling us about this @gidgetgh! I imagine there will be a huge rush at our post office on release day. I hope I can get some, and I hope they get enough in! (Our post office tends to run out of popular releases.).

I use a lot of stamps. I still send cards and letters so I enjoy decorating the envelopes with commemorative stamps.

I bought these Bald Eagle forever stamps at my local post office yesterday. They're beautiful!

I love the different kinds of stamps. Unfortunately I don't use them much any longer. Might purchase the bald eagle stamps! Love them!

I don't use a lot of stamps either... but will purchase the Ralph Lauren Icon stamps on June 9th. It is a nice variety of his works. I especially like the teddy bear with the flag sweater. I need it for my brother's birthday card. We exchange bear items for Christmas, and Birthdays. Just a tradition. I know he will get a kick out of the stamp on his card.

@Catch71 - respectfully, read the other comments. The word forever is crossed out online in pictures so it can't be counterfeited. The actual stamp, in person, won't have that crossed out.
