The price of postage stamps has gone up by 2 cents from last year, something that has outraged a lot of frequent snail mailers.
"The price of a first-class stamp for a one-ounce letter hit 44 cents this week," the Baltimore Sun explains.
So, since we’ve got stamps on our radar, we thought we’d put together an assortment of stamp innovations, which includes not only postage stamps (like fun custom photo ones), but also the old fashioned ink variety, including "honesty stamps."
