Stamped!

As a kid, I spent hours and hours on my very nerdy stamp collection. 

I loved peering into the glass display case of our local collectible shop, looking for a rare match. I regularly queried the counter help at the town post office, hoping to secure some newly-issued stock. Occasionally I would even peel a postmarked stamp from one of those onionskin envelopes used for airmail, affixed by one of my mother's relatives writing to us from Galway.

Prior to 1900 the majority of stamps, not surprisingly, featured U.S. presidents. George Washington still holds the top spot for most appearances on a stamp. But in 2023, a new face will appear as part of our nation's "Forever" stamp series. Soon enough your stamp collection and mine can include a rendering of former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 

Featured in her traditional robe and collar, Ginsburg peers out from behind her glasses with her trademark steely blue eyes. Spending 60 cents never felt so good...
