It’s not like they go bad.

Underachievers and proud of it?

So, use them as regular stamps and not ‘speh-shul’ commemorative stamps.

Who collects stamps any more, anyway?

When are the Baraq & MooseChelle series stamps released?

How could they lose money on stamps? Are they so stupid they threw them away? Sell them to people who buy stamps. If they’re really that worried about it, sell them a penny cheaper.

Those that keep the stamps and never use them allow the USPS to turn a nice profit. They love philatelists but the hobby has suffered because of national post offices churning out tons of issues over the years simply to milk the stamp collecting market. I stopped buying new issues years ago because of this. Is is similar with many other collectibles. There was a thread some time ago listing collectibles that will never gain in value because of overproduction.

The USPS could declare these Simpsons stamps to be “Forever” stamps and sell them till the cows come home.

Sell them for HALF PRICE! That way you can get some value for them......................

Glad you brought this one up. This happened with the Cape Hattaras Stamp many moons back. Insiders conspired to pull out and set aside Blocks of Four with plate block numbers ~ those suckers were worth over $6.00 per block on the collector's market ~ which is incredible for anything with just 4 cents postage showing!

They got caught. High officials were removed. I guess some plea bargaining got back all the plate blocks and folks just walked away from the embarassment although the stamp collecting kit had Cape Hattaras blocks of four in it for years afterwards.

Could be the overproduction served to cover up some select production used to enrich insiders with plate blocks.

Might look at that problem.

Stupid IG couldn't find his butt with his hands in his pockets so I may have to call him and remind him how this trick is done ~ and it ain't with smoke and mirrors.

Back in the 30’s when Germany’s economy went bad they just overprinted the stamps with new denominations to save the costs. Inflation at that time was rampant as it will be here if we don’t unload the Marxists, all of them!

My Post Office still has Valentines Day crap displayed - it amazes me that the USPO thinks people (customers) want this crap.

There's no need for it - they should stick with plain stamps and brown boxes.

Re: --the service produced 1 billion of Simpson Stamps... and sold 318 million

Gadzooks, big? Don't tell me... you've been cancelled?

Well, don't sweat it... I've been cancelled by Fox more times than I can count--

Do’h!...close the postal department!
