doh!!
put 'em on sale LOL
I love them but my post office ran out.

Used them for notes to nephews and nieces; would have purchased again if they were in stock.
Wish they stocked commemorative series longer; always hit & miss; too expensive anymore to buy them for inventory at home.
All they are out of is the printing costs, a small fraction of the face value of the stamps
Businesses use more stamps than birthdat carders. What business would use these except a very few?
