I just received a QSL request w/SASE from PC2F. The stamp affixed to his return 
envelope was something that I've not seen before. Maybe I'm the last on my block 
to learn of this particular stamp which, when bought on a sheet of 20, is equal 
to the $1.10 we pay to send a one oz  envelope overseas via airmail.
 
USPS link:
 
https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?categoryNavIds=catBuyStamps&categoryNav=false&navAction=jump&navCount=0&productId=S_578804&categoryId=catBuyStamps
 
Even though the description of the stamp does not specify "airmail", I don't 
believe the USPS still uses horses and the Queen Mary to transport mail 
overseas. Since this is a "forever" stamp, we may want to stock up when the 
Postal Service begins talking about inevitable postal rate hikes.
