Ever rising costs of stamps!
So now one of our ttm requests costs $1. Seems insignificant until you send hundreds of them! I've become more selective of who I send to. I research their signing habits before I send. In the past if they had bad signing habits I would send anyway. Now I don't. What are you guys doing? Has the increase effected your sending habits?

It made me buy a bunch of forever stamps now to help blunt the cost going up in January. As far as hobbies go it's pretty cheap compared to buying one hobby box of cards these days.

I go in spurts ttm, right now I'm sending out three different 8x10s to collect signatures as multi signed pieces . One is space shuttle astronauts, the next is various Star wars performers, and the last is a photo I took of the field at Busch stadium, to collect old time Cardinals.
Each one takes 3 stamps each way, so 3 bucks per. Its annoying that it's that expensive, but figuring that this takes time and will be a long term process makes it easier to spend the money.
I remember when I started collecting ttm in 1993, stamps were 29 cents, and it was upsetting two years later when they jumped all the way up to 32 cents! Would love those rates now!
God bless,
Kevin
