<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3096768, member: 19463&quot;]Those who have bought from Frank also know of his postage &#039;situation&#039;.&nbsp; Yes I know you can save money by sticking twenty-five two cent stamps on an envelope but I always wondered about the attention it draws to the parcel containing coins.&nbsp; His new sale has an opportunity that few would be able to pass unless, of course, they have a <i>lick</i> of sense.&nbsp; He is selling a lot of 400 5 cent souvenir sheets which would enable the buyer to stick ten on each of forty envelopes were it not for the fact that the area of ten sheets would be several times any envelope that would mail at a single rate.&nbsp; There must be an answer that I am too dull to see.&nbsp; Whenever I see things like this I think about the people who &#039;invested&#039; in buying thousands of sheets of stamps for investment so guys like Frank could save money on postage decades later.&nbsp; The post office was once a profit making operation but I wonder if part of that was all those stamps sold but never used.&nbsp; We called that &#039;service not rendered&#039;.&nbsp; Even I can see value in a business system that encourages us to pay something for nothing and never expect to want anything in return.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a businessperson. If I traveled back in time, I&#039;d probably not remember to buy a roll or two of mint state EID MAR denarii.&nbsp; Pity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
