The queue today was filled with speculators. Some brought their own group. Pos Malaysia as usual was caring and provided a Senior Citizen’s line. The right of the photo is the regular queue and the left is the Senior Citizen’s queue.
The sales was brisk as there is a limit of 5 pieces per person. The folders were sold out around 9:00 am (shortly before at the Senior Citizen’s queue). Slightly after 10:00 am the Pre-Stamped Envelopes were sold out. Speculators were selling at RM 5.00 a piece immediately and the prices online is also higher than Obama! Strange phenomena.
Anyway, as usual I hunt for the matching postmarks. I have limit quantities of the Putrajaya postmark. As usual, the cheapest in the first batch and the price increases incrementally. Price is slightly higher than Obama Visit PSE as I cannot get more to average down the cost.
