Happy Monday. This stamp debuted for sale last Wednesday along with a set of five commemorating vintage black cinema. I was relaxing all last week in the mountains of Virginia at a family reunion and forgot to schedule a post highlighting the appearance of these new postage stamp options. Please go at once and make a purchase at your local post office, or click here to buy any or all available stamps online (it's only $1 shipping, no matter how many you get).
