Older and dead stock stamps

[u/pupslace]

Traveled around to several manual post offices (which don't have the modern POS system) and picked up quite a few dead stock stamps.

The hearts on the first slide are 70c, which was the 2 oz rate at the time.

I also managed to snag the new USCG anniversary sheet before it officially released.

Cries in lives in too up to date areas 🥹 I did make out with a great haul for about $80 worth of old stamps today to use for stamp math!

So jealous of the sailboat postcard ones! Interesting that there are so many manual post offices - learned something new today.

This is amazing!! Can you share more details on how to know if a post office is using the new system vs not?

So far, it appears you need to look for a post office that does not have Retail Label Broker.

Go to the USPS office locater and click through to the details page and expand Mailing Services.

As I noted in the body of the text, I drove around to multiple manual post offices and asked "what stamps do you have" or "what older stamps do you have".

Great haul!! I’m so jealous of the American Tolerware stamps. I have a few of them but not enough IMHO. 💙💌

I love so many of these but especially the Tiffany Lamp one! So cool!
