Started in 1983 with the Metropolitan Opera issue, Dragon Cards are produced for occasional U.S. issues, and sometimes those of other countries. Most are cards; the majority measure 5- by 7-inches. All are produced in limited quantities. We often make combinations (FDCs with related stamps).
Every issue still available (and many 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.)
Upcoming 2023 U.S. Dragon Cards: Lunar New Year-Rabbit combos, Railroad Stations, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, John Lewis, Northern Cardinal envelope, Chief Standing Bear, OSIRIS-REx. You can see the 2023 stamp program announced so far here.
Canada 2023: Canada Post has not yet announced much of its 2023 program but what we know is here. Postage & Handling Increase in 2023: U.S. postal rates went up again in January: A basic Dragon Cards package will cost $1.74 in postage, so we will be charging $1.75 P&H ($2.00 on eBay), with other changes for outside the U.S. (The price of those cardboard mailers went up, too, but we're absorbing that.)
The
PayPal shopping cart system is not working at all on some pages. If you wish to
pay using PayPal and the system doesn't work, please send email
with a list of items you wish to purchase, and I will send you a
PayPal invoice (which you can pay using a credit card). We also
accept checks and money orders. I am working to fix the problems ... manually. At shows, we accept
credit cards, plus cash, checks, PayPal and credit cards. The State of New
Jersey has "requested" that we collect 6.625% sales tax
Please include it in your checks. (PayPal charges sales tax automatically.)

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. Dragon Cards are
also offered in our new eBay Store, but the best prices are here
on this site. Solar
Eclipse Dragon Cards took first and second
place in the Color (Commercially) Printed Art
category of the American First Day Cover's 2017
Cachetmakers Contest. One of them is still
available for sale. Member The

However, we have discovered that the PayPal system may charge you twice. We're working to fix that, and we will refund any excess fees.
