MaxPob is an independent educational publication about Forever Stamps, current U.S. postage, buying safety, postal history, and practical stamp collecting.
Purpose
The site helps a reader answer a mailing or collecting question without having to reconcile a retailer listing, an old postal rate, an isolated comment, and an official rule alone. Articles link to primary or institutional material whenever practical.
Ownership and editorial responsibility
MaxPob is operated by one owner-editor publishing under the name MaxPob Editor. That editor researches, writes, updates, and corrects the site’s articles. Publication contact: [email protected].
Independence and limitations
MaxPob is not affiliated with or endorsed by USPS, USPIS, USPS OIG, or the Smithsonian Institution. The site does not provide professional authentication, appraisal, investment, or legal advice. Market value depends on condition, rarity, demand, provenance, and expert verification.
Evidence standards
Postal rules and prices prioritize USPS. Counterfeit guidance prioritizes USPIS and USPS OIG. Historical claims prioritize USPS and the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. Aggregate review themes identify questions but do not establish facts about a product or the Postal Service.
