To take the sting off the higher shipping costs and increasingly useless tracking information we are given :)

Some of the stamps look pretty cool.  For sure I'll pick some up, there will be millions of these made.  In 2022, 13.8 BILLION stamps were printed in th U.S. alone.  I'm curious if you can get them by the sheet instead of the booklet.  One big downer is you can print your own from stamps.com. This alone will keep them at face (or whatever the USPS prices them at) value. If USPS ceases to exist someday... Maybe they will be 'worth' something.   :D

Except for the Larry Elmore red dragon, I don't even recognize the other artworks. No Trampier PHB cover? No DCSIII DMG cover? Would think the art selection would cover a representative view of all 50 years of D&D art.

Same, Elmore red dragon is about it. Most look digital.

Sadly, Hasbro/WOTC seem to have a memory block which keeps them from going back further than the Mentzer Red Box era.  I sure hope they have better stuff planned than stamps and a calendar.

I agree.

Tiamat is a magic card. Couple others are 5e standard covers. Some of the alternate 5e books would have been better choices.

Mostly kudos to Larry, a legend!
