Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue by Patrick Crosby a Stamp Collector Can Complete a Scott U.S
Certified Mail and Its First Day of Issue By Patrick Crosby A stamp collector can complete a Scott U.S. back-of-the-book category with just one stamp valued at 75¢ mint or used. I’m referring to the 1955 Certified Mail stamp (Scott # FA1) which helped the U.S. Post Office Department (P.O.D.) inaugurate Certified Mail service. This stamp and Certified Mail become much more interesting when on cover, like the featured postcard’s first day of issue usage. Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield called the new Certified Mail service a “change in the registered mail service,” reducing costs to patrons and speeding delivery on at least 25 million letters a year. Registered mail requires special bundling, recording of information, and security at every handling point. For 15¢ Certified Mail would offer proof of mailing and proof of receipt with no indemnity (insurance) or special security on first-class items that have no intrinsic value as opposed to the minimum 40¢ registry fee. A patron would pay for first-class postage and the Certified Mail fee, then he would receive a numbered receipt. The mailed item would be entered into the ordinary mail stream (unless airmail or special delivery) with a two-part Certified Mail label, one part adhered to the envelope. When delivered, the carrier or postal employee was to have the receipt portion signed by a recipient, then remove the receipt portion where rouletted and return it to the delivery post office for filing. If the patron had requested a return receipt (showing when, where, and to whom an item was delivered) it would have been noted on the mailed item and a fee of 7¢ would have been paid for in postage. -

Appendix a Apollo 15: “The Problem We Brought Back from the Moon”
Appendix A Apollo 15: “The Problem We Brought Back From the Moon” Postal Covers Carried on Apollo 151 Among the best known collectables from the Apollo Era are the covers flown onboard the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, mainly because of what the mission’s Lunar Module Pilot, Jim Irwin, called “the problem we brought back from the Moon.” [1] The crew of Apollo 15 carried out one of the most complete scientific explorations of the Moon and accomplished several firsts, including the first lunar roving vehicle that was operated on the Moon to extend the range of exploration. Some 81 kilograms (180 pounds) of lunar surface samples were returned for anal- ysis, and a battery of very productive lunar surface and orbital experiments were conducted, including the first EVA in deep space. [2] Yet the Apollo 15 crew are best remembered for carrying envelopes to the Moon, and the mission is remem- bered for the “great postal caper.” [3] As noted in Chapter 7, Apollo 15 was not the first mission to carry covers. Dozens were carried on each flight from Apollo 11 onwards (see Table 1 for the complete list) and, as Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott recalled in his book, the whole business had probably been building since Mercury, through Gemini and into Apollo. [4] People had a fascination with objects that had been carried into space, and that became more and more popular – and valuable – as the programs progressed. Right from the start of the Mercury program, each astronaut had been allowed to carry a certain number of personal items onboard, with NASA’s permission, in 1 A first version of this material was issued as Apollo 15 Cover Scandal in Orbit No. -

Invalid Use of a Postal Card Stamp by Patrick Crosby What Was Bill Johnson Thinking? Perhaps He Wasn’T Thinking
Invalid Use of a Postal Card Stamp By Patrick Crosby What was Bill Johnson thinking? Perhaps he wasn’t thinking. He tried to mail a letter using a 1¢ cut-out from a postal card. Eventually he paid the proper 3¢ letter rate. A few clues that something was amiss would tip off a postal clerk in Rochester, NY. First off, a clerk would be aware of the color scheme being used on U.S. stamps—green equals a 1c stamp, the card rate, and violet equals a 3¢ stamp, the basic letter rate. So a lone green stamp on an envelope is a red flag. And then there is mutilation. Only the Postmaster General could determine the government postal card size. Any change in a postal card’s size is considered mutilation and “…renders the stamp impressed thereon valueless.” Bill had neatly cut around the stamp portion of the reply half of a message-reply card and glued it to the envelope. In effect, on February 4, 1941, he mailed a letter without postage. Underneath the later added 3¢ violet stamp is a “Due 3 cents.” marking. A straight-line “Feb 5-1941” shows up as a date control marking. Then Bill comes forward with the proper postage and “Postage subsequently paid by writer” is added. A parcel/general purpose dateless roller cancels the stamp. The letter is then on its way with a second Rochester, NY postmark. If there was a chance that a postal clerk could miss the above irregularities and went to send the letter at the card rate, the item was still taller (top to bottom) at 3¾” than the 3 9/16” allowed by postal regulations for cards at the time. -
60012 Accepted 5/21/2008
Postal Regulatory Commission Submitted 5/29/2008 11:46:31 Filing ID: 60012 Accepted 5/21/2008 May 21, 2008 Good afternoon. I appreciate the invitation to be with you all, here in Flagstaff today, and to offer what I hope may be food for thought – and more – regarding the present re-consideration of the notions of Universal Service, the Universal Service Obligation , and the Postal Monopoly, and to join in on the discussion of these important topics. I am here as the owner and publisher of The Flute Network. We are a small entirely volunteer entity now closing in on the end of our 24 th year of service as a “bulletin board service” for flutists, flute teachers, and the people who love these kinds of folks. In addition to a website presence (which has become absolutely requisite in recent years for businesses of all kinds), we continue to organize and publish an adletter of typically 8 – 12 pages, which goes out free of charge 9 times a year, now to some 6,100 different subscribers nationwide. It is on behalf of our subscribers, and all those whom we serve by including their notices, that we’ve been tracking the flow of Flute Network mailings over the years. As with most such things, the timely receipt of our mailings is a large part of what keeps them valuable – for example, it does no good to learn of a concert or other event that one might have wanted to attend, two weeks after it happened. What is frustrating is when this kind of thing happens and those notices had actually been mailed three weeks before those events, and by the Post Office’s own standards should have been received by all in plenty of time. -
