<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3047482, member: 88829&quot;]I don&#039;t know why you say that.&nbsp; The practice of buying postage at below face has been going on for a long, long time.&nbsp; There have always been lots of people who sock away sheets of stamps, mostly commemoratives, thinking they have a safe investment that will never be worth less than they paid.&nbsp; Dealers were buying below face back in the 50s, and the general market for below face postage came on board in the 70s as collectors bought it at stamp shows.&nbsp; Collectors use it as Frank does - to dress up his mail and save a bit.&nbsp; Meanwhile, clerks at the Post Ofice use meters (no discount).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
