What else can I help you with?
Is there a site with pictures and values of 1st class stamps for the last couple of years because the stamps don't always have a value printed on them?
Yes, several websites track the values of first-class stamps and provide visual references. Sites like the American Philatelic Society, StampWorld, and eBay can be useful for checking current values and viewing images of various stamps. Additionally, philatelic catalogs, such as Scott or Minkus, often include pictures and market values for stamps. These resources can help collectors and sellers stay informed about stamp values over the years.
How come a first class stamp can be used in different years?
Some countries are now issuing Forever Stamps. They are worth the current value of a first class stamp. This means people don't have to worry about small stamps to make up the difference and the post office doesn't have to print new stamps every time the rates change.
Do you have to add postage to stamps bought last year?
Maybe, depending on where you are and when "last year" was. The US postal service began a few years ago issuing "forever" stamps that are first-class postage "forever" ... that is, they can be used to mail a first-class letter even if the cost of first-class postage goes up. These will say "forever" on them, and will not have a denomination other than that. They're priced at whatever the current first-class postage rate is. If a stamp does have a denomination on it, that's the value of the stamp. If that's insufficient for current postage rates, you will need to add stamps to make up the difference.
