New Arkansas stamp

Here's the new Arkansas stamp in the Flags of Our Nation series from the Postal Service. A ceremony to celebrate the new stamp is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Old State House.

PS -- The only image I could find of the stamp pre-dates a postal rate increase to 42 cents. The new stamp will bear that amount.

Wow. Really?

Aren't stamps 42 cents now? Hopefully, it will have the right price on it before the big ceremony.

It's a nice looking stamp, but isn't first-class postage 42 cents these days?

I dont think wood ducks swim in rice fields or out in the open like that. Should have been a "green head" or a whitetail deer....

The designer must have been from mosquito country.

Really, was that the best design we could come up with? Who did design it? A high school student? Wow. It's right up there with the design of our state quarter. We can't have nothin' nice.

Did someone get paid for that design? If so.. I need to start submitting designs too.

The design sucks...should have put some mountains in the background. I assume some 5th grader won a competition? Surely they didn't pay money for that.
