Ever since 1934 the "DUCK STAMP" as we know it was a moisture activated stamp or otherwise known as a lick and stick stamp.
It was required by the hunter to apply this stamp to the back of his or her hunting license and sign it across the face in ink to validate it.
When the season was over the hunting license could be soaked in lukewarm water and the stamp would release and then when dry it could be added to a collection.
Several years ago the United States Postal service began offering the DUCK STAMP in both moisture activated and self adhesive.
For folks like me who have collected all of the DUCK STAMPS all of my stamps have been moisture activated until NOW.
Starting this year you can only obtain self adhesive stamps which when applied to a hunting license are forever stuck to that license and will be destroyed if you attempt to remove it.
This new stamp will need to be left attached to the original carrier in order to maintain it's integrity however this may not be excepted by law enforcement.
There are folks that have custom made stamp displays that were made to display the moisture activated stamps now those displays will be incomplete or disorganizes looking because of this move.
I know most if not all modern day stamps are self adhesive and this day was coming but I STILL DON'T LIKE IT!
