In 1974, the Postal Service released an experimental, self-adhesive, precanceled Christmas issue. The experiment was a failure and the project was abandoned. In the years following this test, numerous requests were received for self-adhesive stamps. Not only would they be more sanitary, but they wouldn't stick to each other and they would be easier to handle. Eventually,in 1989, the first EXTRAordinary stamp was introduced. Featuring an eagle and shield motif, this 25 stamp actually sold for 27.7. It was released in both booklet and coil form.
