Cost to collect US new issues almost doubled in 2012
The cost increased by more that $63, thanks to more high denominated and
definitive issues. The cost to buy all new US mint stamps and stationery is $140. If taken into consideration that typically collectors of all issued stamps (not recommended - VM) have to purchase self-adhesive coils or booklets too, the cost raise to approx. $426 for 2012. It was $184 for 2011. The rate increase of Jan 27, 2013 will normally drive the costs up.
