✈ MZA: Inverted Jenny Challenge! (USA only) ✈

On September 22, the USPS is issuing a special reprint of the famed Inverted Jenny stamp: "This souvenir sheet features a new version of perhaps the most famous error in the history of U.S. stamps: the Inverted Jenny, a 1918 misprint that highlights the ways a single stamp can turn history upside down."

These stamps ain't gonna be cheap. They are $2 stamps, so the sheet of 6 stamps will set you back $12. Since we're slapping $2 on an envelope, we'll make the USPS earn that money!

• You will send 1 letter using the $2 Inverted Jenny stamp (um, please don't use an original... lol!)
• The envelope MUST be hand cancelled and declared "non machinable" so they don't spray cancel the stamp. The $2 is enough for you to even send a pretty heavy, lumpy envelope and still get this done!
• Please consider the spirit of this group when you write your letter. Be articulate, and send something with a little pizzaz! Maybe use a fountain pen or a typewriter, send a postalette or fold-n-mail, make a greeting card or decorate your envelope! Just send something that shows you care.

• If you receive a letter from your partner that has a hand cancelled Inverted Jenny on the envelope, you should rate a 5. (If the USPS spray cancels the stamp even though you had it declared and stamped non-machinable, please contact me with a photo so we can work it out. Please also let me know if the stamp arrives damaged - I want everyone to get their stamp!.)
• Extras are lovely, but not required. It's nice to read profiles, but this is sender's choice.
• Be sure to include your username and the swap name so you can be rated.
• Since this is US postage, only US swappers will be able to join this swap. :( If you would like an Inverted Jenny of your own, PM me, and perhaps we can work out a private swap!
