Forever Stamps are things you can buy that are guaranteed to increase in value. Buy a sheet and frame it as art because stamps are art.

If we can buy stamps now and be able to use them in 5 years, it seems logical that the USPS is losing potential income, no?

(23,317 posts)So... just a little backstory about the stamps I choose...some of you know I co-own two small businesses...most of our clients and customers are folks who could be described as right leaning to RWNJs. For real. Dont even get me going on all of that. That said, I pick and choose my postal stamps with care because I use them to pay bills, send correspondence and invoice customers just like everyone but I love to use stamps that have a message...especially to the crazy pants RWNJs.
For example, after the MF started calling the coronavirus the Chinese virus, I began using the Chinese Lunar New Year stamps when billing my especially crazy customers...when sending correspondence to my misogynistic customers, I would stick a Bella Abzug stamp on the envelope and laugh laugh laugh. When Im sending invoices to the he-man tough guy clients, I especially enjoyed using the Mr. Rogers stamps. Its a small pleasure in my work day and well worth the cost of a forever stamp.

(36,745 posts)Most of the stamps from WW2 and after are worth only face value for postage. I buy post-WW2 uncancelled in bulk for 60 cents on dollar and use them.
Makes for very colorful envelopes.
