Subject: Very cool maps on stamps
Sender: "Virginia R. Hetrick" <[log in to unmask]>

First, sorry, non-US people, these are USPS stamps.

That said, I was down buying stamps for my newsletter when I noticed
some holograms in the new prepackaged stamps area on one side of the
Post Office.  The USPS has a whole new series of stamps on space
exploration including several with representations of Earth IN COLOR
behind a different space vehicle or activity on each one.  The ones I
got were all holograms, but there are some that are not holograms.
The ones I got are:

1.  Escaping the Gravity of Earth - two Priority Mail stamps for $6.40
2.  Landing on the Moon - 1 Express Mail stamp for $11.75
and the pièce de résistance:
3.  Space Achievement and Exploration - 1 ROUND Express Mail stamp for
$11.75

And, I thought we were stuck in triangle-land for postage stamps!  ;-)

Enjoy!
