Started in 1983 with the Metropolitan Opera issue, Dragon Cards are produced for occasional U.S. issues, particularly those dealing with music. Most are cards; the majority measure 5- by 7-inches. All are produced in limited quantities. We often make combinations (FDCs with related stamps).

We are pleased to accept checks, money order, cash, and PayPal (and through PayPal ).

Our shipping within the U.S. is a flat rate of $1.25; $1.50 to Canada; $1.75 to Mexico; and $3 to other countries. If outside the U.S., please add the appropriate extra P&H using the button at the bottom of the page. (Not all the pages have been updated properly. If you are overcharged for P&H by PayPal, we will promptly refund the difference.)

The State of New Jersey has "requested" that we collect 7% sales tax from NJ residents. Sorry, it's not my idea of a good time, either.

Every issue still available (and some that are not) is listed somewhere on this site; This is the most-complete listing of what's available. We no longer publish a printed pricelist on a regular basis. (But we'll put together a custom list for those not on the Internet, so please tell your friends.)

Subscribe! We can customize your subscription for upcoming issues in countless ways — every commemorative, every combo, everything we produce, every left-handed hermaphrodite, you name it. What's in it for you? You're guaranteed we won't sell out of an item before you get it, because we'll have put it aside for you before it goes on sale. And sometimes we make special versions of Dragon Cards that are offered first and sometimes only to subscribers. If your shipping address is in the U.S., there won't be a charge for P&H, either. And sometimes there are discounts, too.

We are selling out of many items; please check first via e-mail so we can confirm and put aside the items you want. We try to keep this site as up-to-date as we can.

Let PayPal work for you even if you don't want to use PayPal: As you see something you want to order, add it to your shopping cart. When you're done, the PayPal shopping cart (a pop-up window) will display the list of all your items. Copy it down (or hit "print" on your browser), then "delete" all the items in your PayPal shopping cart, and order by another method. (Don't tell 'em I suggested this )
