As part of American Idol charity benefit's Idol Gives Back fundraising effort, US Post is issuing stamps featuring American Idol winners stamp. Each idol has limited 100,000 20-stamp sheets. These special edition stamps which will cost $19.99 a sheet will not be sold in regular post USPS offices, but only available at USPS-approved, Internet-based postage services PhotoStamps (photo.stamps.com). So it is definitely worth of philatelists' attention. Now on sale are American Idol Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson stamps, with each sheet containing four images. The other five Idol winners (Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks) will be rolled out the next five weeks. According to Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, if all these Idol stamps sell out, Idol Gives Back would get about US$7 million.
