- Who was St Ivo?
- Should you buy the new “forever” stamps? Nope. Stamp prices rise slower than inflation. In fact, by law, they now cannot rise faster than inflation (which seems dopey). On the other hand — what’s the conveience of not ending up with odd lot stamps worth?

I’m not thinking of buying Forever Stamps as a hedge against inflation. I’m considering them as a hedge against the inconvenience of having to go to the post office and buy 2 cent stamps because I have left over 39 cent stamps.
I also think the Post Office should be required to give the public several months (like 6) warning before they raise the cost of a stamp, so that we are not left holding so many “out of date” stamps.
Actually, they do give a fair amount of notice. It’s just, well, you need stamps until then, then you need new stamps.
I’d buy them just because I only buy stamps on rare occasions (I go through maybe 2-3/month, tops), so I have a vast abundance of obsolete stamps, such that I’m just burning 32×2=64 cents, because I don’t have any extras.
