FREE: USA - Crossword Puzzles, mint

The listing, USA - Crossword Puzzles, mint has ended.

USA stamp from the "Celebrate the Century" series from 1998 to 2000.

These stamps were ONLY available as sheets of 15 different designs, so people wishing a single stamp would have to buy a full sheet from the post office! There were 10 different sheets available, one for each decade (1900's through 1990's).

Single stamps such as this are rarely available and are great for people that wish to collect stamps with particular subjects and themes. This way you don't have to commit to buying a whole sheet.

Full sheets (15 stamps) of these now have a catalog value of over $12.50 (2012 catalog value). One of the large stamp mail order companies (begins with "M"...) charges $16.75 for a sheet and $1.95 for a single such as the one offered here (plus $2.90 postage). Thus, this single stamp from this stamp company would cost you $4.85 !
--> My cost is much more reasonable! The minimum bid takes into account my out of pocket costs including non-tracked first class mail. If you wish USPS tracking, then you'll need to pay for $2.54 for USPS 1st Class Parcel tracking (the cheapest available).
--> GIN of 7,000 is available

Condition: full gum, mint never hinged, post office fresh

I have up to 3 of the CTC stamp illustrated, the scan is representative of what you will receive (if I have more than one) or the actual stamp if I only have one.
