Below is a full set of Eagle presorts from 2003, Scott nos. 3792-3801. I have been sorting these out of a large pile of definitives on my desk and have a small pile of maybe 30 on my desktop right now. This set was reissued in 2005 with that year date imprinted at the bottom, but in the many years of sorting and soaking definitives I have yet to find even one. What about all of you, any luck? What am I missing here?

Did you hear the joke about the unstamped letter? You wouldn't get it.

I have only found one Darrin and I didn't realize the one I have was issued in a coil, that you had to tear and lick it before apply it to a envelope.

Since this series was used for mass mailings, I can't see someone licking that many stamps.

Scott # 3844-53. I didn't realize the peel and stick were re-issued in 2005, after checking in my Scott catalog Learned something new today. Thanks Darrin.

I forget about the lick and sticks from 2004 myself...those are also really hard to find. I have only a few that I know of and have not completed the set. Surprisingly, the used plate number single, S1111111, was one of the first ones I found and commands a pretty substantial premium.

I have all but 2 of the 2003 ones (missing 3792 and 3794), but I have none of the 2004 and only one of the 2005 version.
