No offense, but I find the different designs of stamps to be a PROBLEM
with the Postal Service. The costs of creating and printing so many
version of stamps are enormous to an organization whos expenses are
already out of control.

Can you imagine how much they could cut from costs and the price of
first class postage if they printed ONE type of flag stamp and no other
designs??


Stamp collectors probably subsidize a LOT of the postal services, why else
would they print all those pretty stamps that never get used for postage?
There are small countries whose entire economy is based on selling stamps to
collectors.

At least the collectors, unlike most lotto-ticket purchasers, actually get
something for their money.
