It looks like Forever is crossed out. Why!

I don't know the reason why "Forever" is crossed out, but I did read that the cost of stamps was reduced from 49 cents to 47 cents!!! The USPS is very upset, but the agency that oversees them said that they don't need that much money.

@lovestopaint- I don't know, but I'm guessing that they do that they can't be printed and counterfeited.

Yes, this exactly why.

oooh love this! I need to place a big order- I need to get the trucks, planets, national parks and now these. And a few others but I can't remember. Going to buy them now...

Found this online:

"Stamps shown at the Postal Store and in our USA Philatelic catalog are for illustrative purposes only. The strike through the word FOREVER is to ensure that the illustration cannot be used as a stamp through technical reproductive means. Any stamps you purchase will not have a strike through the word FOREVER and are honored as postage on all items mailed in the United States."

Love the birdies! Also would like to purchase the national parks stamps...thank you for sneak preview!

These came out a few days ago. I bought them.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

My DH wants to get the new Old Trucks stamps. He saw an ad at the PO.

@151949- here they are. They're coming out July 15th.

I think these are really pretty. Forever stamp, being released August 4th. It's NOT the annual contemporary holiday stamp.

Pretty!
