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; $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'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 September 2011. 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 how some of the 2011 designs were modified using
PhotoShop.
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.
