Some New 2009 Commemorative Stamps

The year 2009 will see a series of stamps looking back at the age of black and white television. One stamp will feature "I Love Lucy" where Lucy and Ethel work at a chocolate assembly line. In another, Sgt. Joe Friday will say "Just the Facts" "Dragnet-style. Groucho Marx wants to know the secret word, Ozzie & Harriett, Ed Sullivan, the Honeymooners and others will be out as well.

Sadly, the current way-expensive 42 cent stamp will be EVEN More expensive in May.

There will be Alaska, Hawaii, and Oregon anniversary issues as well.

This being Lincoln's birth bicentennial, there will also be four for him as well.

Thank Goodness for Those Peel and Apply Stamps These Days. --Da Coot
