I haven’t bought “Forever” stamps at the post office since the moon landing commemorative stamps back in 2019. I seldom mail things so a sheet of stamps lasts a long time for me.DH bought two sheets of Alex Trebek stamps yesterday. Our PO branch didn't have the First Day Covers. They're available on the USPS website, so he'll order them.
OT/Related: The Bette Davis stamp was released on September 18, 2008. We were on an Alaskan cruise and stopped in Skagway that day. I had researched the location of the post office near the port and determined that it was less than a mile from the dock. We had a shore excursion booked at 10:00AM so we disembarked at @8:00AM, walked to the post office, bought the stamps and the First Day Cover, and returned to the ship with plenty of time to spare. I never used any of the stamps and kept the full sheet - the stamps were 42 cents then.
So I was surprised to see they were 73 cents.
