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
$1.35; $2.50 to Canada; $3.25 to Mexico; and $3.75 to other countries.
(Not all the pages have been updated
properly. If you are overcharged for P&H by PayPal, we will
promptly refund the difference.)
On the move: We have a new mailing
address — PO Box 937, Morrisville, NC 27560-0937 — because of a job
change. There may be some
slowdown in filling
orders.
Dragon Cards will be at the NAPEX Cachetmakers Bourse Saturday, June 1st, at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner in McLean, Va.
Likely 2013 issues: We only know for certain most of the issues of the first
quarter; the USPS is now not revealing more until 3 months in advance.
You can get a preview of that much at The
Virtual Stamp Club. However, based on that, and some good
guesses, here are the early and very tentative 2013 Dragon Cards
plans: Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, A Flag for All Seasons
(Americover 2013 version), Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream"
Speech, Althea Gibson, Stamp
Collecting/Inverted Jenny, the individual
Civil War stamps (Battles of Gettysburg and
Vicksburg) and a Dragon Card for the pair, and War of 1812's Battle of
Lake Erie.
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.
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 )

Now It Can Be Told: ("Why" is
another matter.) Updated June 2012. 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 designs that weren't used.
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.
