Ansel Adams Postage Stamps

[splitimageview]

OK, one sheet should have all the images. So $10.88 is the cost for the sheet, plus whatever it costs to mail it safely to Italy.

 

[Mauro]

Would you please let me know the total cost (1 sheet with all stamps + shipping cost to Italia); would you accept an advance payment via Paypal?

 

[splitimageview]

$10.88 plus about $5 for postage, first class. this might take a while (3-4 weeks) and there is no tracking.

next step up is about $27, with tracking. 3 day delivery.

I have shipped items to Italy before, it's always an adventure once it leaves the US. If you REALLY want these stamps I'd recommend spending the $27, otherwise they may never arrive.

Happy to do this for you, no need to pay in advance though, it's still about 6 weeks before these become available.

Well now, since these are "forever" stamps, it might not be a bad idea to buy a few sheets of these, and use them for any postage for the next several years or more. I mean, if you *are* gonna send stuff by USPS, why not attach a stamp that reflects our interests and passions?

Although part of me wants to hold out for the Eggleston series...eh, surely would never happen, sadly.

I’m grateful for the heads up as I have quite a few pen pals and that has me using a lot of stamps. A better descriptor is “type pals” as I developed an interest in typewriters during the pandemic and that is how I’ve wound up in touch with most of the people that I correspond with these days. Small as they might be, I think that those Ansel Adams stamps will make for a nice addition to my outgoing envelopes.

Let's go with the "standard" postage at 5 USD about; i take the risk.
please let me know if you accept a paypal transfer for the total amount and I will do it.

@Mauro I have placed a pre-order for the stamps. Also a set of first day covers, if you want a set of those.

 

[Mauro]

Dear Splitimageview,
Can you tell me the cost for the first day covers + posyage to Italy? I may consider the first day covers instead of the stamps
Thanks for your help

I still have a few of the prior, photography-related stamp issued by USPS in 1978. One of the oddities of US stamp pricing is how stable it's been over time. Fifteen cents in 1978 converts to about $0.72 today.

 

[Mauro]

Dear Splitimageview,
I would like to buy the 16 first day covers at USD 20 + syandard postage to Italy at USD 5 (I take the risk for it); please PM me with thge instruction for paymenbt, and I will arrange for it (is Paypal ok for you?).

Just got mine today and it's the cheapest way to collect 16 of his images.

My daughter is getting me a framed poster with a sheet of the stamps as part of the display.

I studied A A extensively in college. Despite my career in newspaper photography, I've never lost my appreciation for his vision and technical expertise,

Eggleston stamps would be great, more interesting to me than Adams‘ work.

You have to be dead before the post office will issue a stamp with your likeness on it, although I'm not sure about an artist's work appearing on stamps before their death.
