Hi Fike! Thank you so much for the Mail Art and printed Art Cards. I love them! I like Sci Fi, too, but am not nearly as avid a reader as you are. Hope you are well and staying safe. Best Regards, Pam

Karl Anderson's a good source who I've used for several orders over the past few years.
His current list and very detailed information on requirements for ordering from him are found at:
http://www.andersonstampandcoin.com/Pricelist.pdf
Currently, he is selling mint US 3-cent stamps from the 1940's-50's for very little over face value.
