The Smithsonian Institution's National Postal Museum has deacessioned approximately 7.4 million revenue stamps from their collection. They plan to sell about six million of the stamps and destroy the other 1.4 million. Destruction of stamps, or anything else for that matter, by a museum is wrong. I have been leading the effort to stop this destruction. This blog will be used to lessen the load responding to questions. You may contact me at mailto:burningstamps@revenuer.com
As many of you know, I have been leading the effort to stop the destruction of stamps by our National Postal Museum. It has become very time consuming, so in an effort to streamline responses, I have created this blog. I will start with a few introductory articles about the issue. If you have any questions: Email me!

Illustrated is Scott RE182D. There is one recorded example in collectors hands. It is used. The National Postal Museum has 50,000 mint examples. Their current plan calls for the sale of three examples and to destroy the balance, except for what they keep for the museum and donate to a few other organizations. Should the museum destroy these stamps?
