Quote3dFrom the USPS stamp selection criteria: "Events of historical significance shall be considered for commemoration only on anniversaries in multiples of 50 years." Strike one. "Stamps or stationery shall not be issued to promote or advertise commercial enterprises or products." Strike two. "No living person shall be honored by portrayal on U.S. postage.&quo

Link to stamp selection "rules": The Star Wars stamps represent a major shift for the USPS. Fewer than 10 years ago the Postal Service would not put living actors on stamps honoring Star Trek, All in the Family, The Cosby Show and Seinfeld. That policy is now toast.

Speaking of softball T-shirts: Back in the 1970s, law firms in Minnesota were prohibited from advertising. Because of this, the company softball team couldn't put the name of the firm on team shirts; even the generic phrase "Law Firm" was deemed unacceptable. So, the team manager ordered shirts that simply said FIRM. Predictably, our female players wouldn't wear them.

Re: Yet another postal increase. Yuk. - 17 years ago

Quoteh'Don't we already have stamps that say "first class" with no monetary amount? Yes, but those are merely 'nondenominated' stamps that do have a fixed postage value equal to what it cost to buy them. (See the values of such stamps going back to 1975 here: ).
