I have been saving these stamps for the next year of the ram - so 2027 - even though they aren't technically lunar new year stamps.

They were worth .59¢ when issued in 2011,  now they are worth $1.24

I do appreciate the colour bars on the selvedge in the shape of the ram's horns.

With this alphabet round, I am going to go with stamps related to flora and fauna.  Some may be rather tangentially related.
