    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 Visa MasterCard Discover American Express).

    Our shipping within the U.S. is a flat rate of $1.25; $1.50 to Canada; $2.25 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.)

    We won! Our Dgn 332 King & Queen of Hearts was winner of the Printed Art/Two Colors or More category in the 2009 American First Day Cover Society Cachetmakers Contest. See all the results here and here. And Dgn 332 is still available! Oh, and while you're there, why not join the AFDCS? Use "Dragon Cards" as your proposer, and take 25% off your next Dragon Cards order!

    Note the new address: After 15½ years at the Paramus post office, we have taken a box at the Washington Township office. Not every page has been updated with the new address yet.

    We're told the shopping cart system doesn't work on some of the older pages. If you get an error message (a surefire sign the system isn't working!) just e-mail me and I'll send you an invoice for the desired items.

    Likely Upcoming 2010 U.S. Issue: The "Forevergreens" stamps. See the complete 2010 stamp program at The Virtual Stamp Club.

    Likely Upcoming 2011 U.S. Issues: The list of the commemorative issues can be found at The Virtual Stamp Club. Likely Dragon Cards issues will include Gregory Peck, Helen Hayes, Civil War: 1861, Indianapolis 500, Edward Hopper's "The Long Leg," Jazz, Project Mercury, Year of the Rabbit, and Mark Twain.

    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.

    GoDaddy $3.99 Domain NamesWe 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 )

    Clearance!Check out the Clearance page, with 79 issues priced at 4 for $3, 6 for $7.50 and 20 for $20. You can buy all different or quantities of the same issue. Get a head start on your Dragon Cards collection.

    Now It Can Be Told: ("Why" is another matter.) Updated July 2010. Some behind-the-scenes stories about Dragon Cards you might not have known (and might not want to know, but it's my Web site, and you're free to skip this page). This edition shows you some Dragon Cards that won't be coming soon to a cachetmakers bourse near you  or your PayPal shopping cart.


    Dragon Cards are also offered on eBay, Stamps2Go, Delcampe, and BidStart (formerly StampWants), but the best prices are here on this site. The seller name on eBay, Delcampe and StampWants is "LloydStamps" and it's "LloydStamp" on Stamps2Go.
