Here's something you don't see everyday in this discussion area. I'm going to do a little educating and then ask for help in identifying something.

So some of the latest stamps to come out of the USPS are these little guys called “The Four Flags”.



So, in my attempt to keep my 2012 collection up to date, I went and bought 2 booklets at my local post office.

While figuring out pricing to see what the extra ones I have would be worth online, I found out on eBay that there are actually five versions of each of these stamps! There are three different printers for the coil version, and two different printers for the booklets, meaning that there will be 5 different Scott numbers for each stamp. I went and purchased a set of each from one of my favorite and very trust worthy dealers on eBay and right now, I’d like to focus on just the booklet types. I’ll do a follow-up message showing the coils a little later.

So the next scan is rather large, but it had to be so that you could see the microprint USPS on each example as well as my booklet block. I think I already know what I have, but I figured I’d let you guys have some fun with it as well.

I believe there are 7 varieties of each. That's why plate numbers come in handy!

Ashton Potter did one of the booklets and the ATM pane as well, both those stamps are quite different from each other
