A Pennsylvania man shelled out $8,000 to purchase nearly 20,000 Forever Stamps in 2007. The new stamps have been popular, but “that’s really a rare occurrence for somebody to buy that many,” said Mark Hnasko, a spokesman for the USPS in central Pennsylvania.
$8000 worth of Forever Stamps at the time equaled 19,512 stamps.
Story update: Sadly, we couldn’t find any follow-up information regarding the individual who purchased $8,000 worth of Forever stamps in 2007.
It appears that no additional details about this particular purchase have been reported publicly.
Bonus: In the TV show The League (S3.E7: Carmenjello), the character Taco revealed a plan of becoming rich by hoarding Forever Stamps as an investment.
