| Ok I am starting to collect the whole flags our nation series. TO bad i just go back into stamp collecting this year. but any how, my question does any one know of any good webites that offer the first day covers for these. I checked on ebay and most of em run anywhere from 4.50 to 5.00. |

| Just don't use plain old printer paper when you do because it will damage your stamps. You should use an archival type paper of the proper thickness so it will be durable enough to stand up to rifling through it 20 times a day (like I do!) lol |

| Just making a suggestion. I get the 65 lb from Office Depot, and it comes in different colors too.
I believe 250 sheets run about $14. |

| I use the 110 myself. I can print on both sides without any chance of things showing through to the other side. My printer handles it just fine. |
