I get somewhat annoyed when philatelic traders charge collectors for postage then use old stock (common stamps from the 70s and 80s) for postage when later released stamps would be preferred. This is especially the case for me as I am an overseas collector who likes to see current stamps on my mail. Still, I guess old stock is better than no stamps and a damned "sticker" instead!
Have you ever thought about sending the seller a note when you make payment. I usually use more current stamps but I have had several buyers request current commemorative stamps. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Must use Buy It Now and PayPal.
