I saw this picture in reddit and I initially thought it was a photoshop:
But apparently it is the way they are selling them.
A sad commentary on things to come?

That’s the way they are featured online so that you can’t print them out and make your own without buying them. The real stamps aren’t pre-cancelled that way.
I was typing while you were posting…..sorry….. 🙂
I have 3 books of 20 first-class forever Stamps and none of the stamps have the “Forever” crossed out . Bought a bunch of stamps this summer. The “bars” crossing out the “Forever” my have been put there is keep people from down loading the pictures and using as postage????…….. 🙁
That’s a ‘forever’ stamp. Forever stamps are always equal to the current price of stamps, regardless of what you paid for the stamp. All of the images that the USPS has for the forever stamps has the word ‘forever’ crossed out. It might be a security measure.
They… probably should have just written “VOID” over the top…
I second the “VOID” suggestion, not only because it would be more obvious, but also because it would be harder to Photoshop the VOID off. I could replace that crossed-out “Forever” text in about 3 minutes…
Doesn’t matter if there’s a bar across the ‘forever’- I still stick them on upside down.
Every time I bought this set, I said, “Huh, ‘freedom.’ We used to have one of those things around here, didn’t we?”
