Random Blog Friday: Stamp

Happy Friday ya filthy animals. The word generator has spoken. We drew Stamp this week.

Fun Fact: I have never bought stamps. I also know nothing besides the Post Office every year sends out this huge thing that the price went up a couple cents and you can tell they’re genuinely sorry. I genuinely am not sure what the point is. If I don’t put a sticker on an envelope on a letter, will it actually not get delivered? Have no fear! There is a wikipedia page for this!

So yes, after thinking for about 9 seconds, I realized the stamp is how they make sure you pay to get it delivered. International Stamps are so much more expensive than the normal stamps. Why do other countries care if our stupid sticker is on a letter? That part makes absolutely no sense to me. Stamps were 1 cent at a point, they are now 44 cents with a price increase coming in April.

I may invest and buy a lot of stamps and sell them outside of the post office for 5 cents less. Very smart business practice by me. Don’t steal it or I will sue. I will also be hanging onto a few stamps because LOOK AT THIS!

Top 10 Most Valuable Stamps:

ALMOST 13 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A STICKER?!

My mind is all over my office right now. I am absolutely dumbfounded that stamps get to be that valuable. I may be taking up a new hobby. Buying and reselling stamps – but keeping a couple around in-case that value gets to SEVEN FIGURES!

I have a new found respect for stamp collectors. I used to think these people are fucking weird and boring. I now know they are just smart. Buying stamps may just be the best investment you can make. Gold has nothing on these numbers.
