Ya know what I mean? I woud send so many more requests if I could just get more stamps. Does anyone know a way to get discounted prices on stamps? A legal way. Like it seems like the USPS would have promotions to encourage snail mail, but I've never seen one. All I've seen is the price go up. I got 50 stamps Saturday and had 25 requests in the mail today and I still have several guys that I really want to send to. But I guess it's probably impossible to ever feel like you've sent to enough people for awhile huh? Oh well, maybe I'll just go buy 8 stamps today so I can send to some minor leaguers, while they're still in the minors... That's another thing that's tough. When you have just a few stamps deciding who to use it on. I actually have a pretty fun system. I have an "autograph wannabe" binder and the guys on hte front page are the ones I really want to sent to first. They're the top priorities. But then I also have a box of 94 Topps Finest cards to send cards from, and a stack of CICs so the binder has competition right now. All in all it's fun like it is though. Hooray TTM.

I usually get them on eBay, you can buy rolls of 100 39 cent stamps for like $35-$37 plus shipping.

After shipping isn't it more than $39?
I caved and bought a book on my way home from classes.

i think its worth the extra 2 bucks just to pick them up at the post office, so you dont have to deal with bidding, waiting for them, ect...

Paying postage on stamps. There's something funny about that.

I know what you mean though. If stamps grew on trees, I'd have an orchard.

I absolutely hate going into the post office, so I order mine online via usps. Shipping is a dollar,but it's worth it to me, to not have to go into the post office.

I think you can get them at Costco in the business supply section. It's not really much of a discount- like 100 stamps for the price of 99 or something like that.
