Holiday mail often creates a simple quantity question: do you need a small set for cards and invitations, or enough postage for a much larger list? The active 2016 Holiday Windows Christmas Forever Stamps listing gives shoppers two choices on one product page: 20 stamps or a 100-stamp bundle.
When this guide was prepared, both variants were available for sale. The 20-stamp option was listed at $10.66 with a $16.40 compare-at price and 100 units of sellable online inventory. The 100-stamp option was listed at $53.30 with an $82.00 compare-at price and 99 units of sellable online inventory. Those are live listing details checked at publication time; price and availability can change, so confirm the product page before ordering.
What Is the 2016 Holiday Windows Issue?
The listing describes this as the 2016 Holiday Windows Christmas Forever Stamp issue. Its four seasonal designs feature a red candle, decorated wreath, gold star, and glowing Christmas tree. The stamps are listed as self-adhesive, new and unused.
Shoppers looking across seasonal designs can browse the Holiday & Christmas Stamps collection. Because this is a 2016 issue, it also appears in the Vintage Forever Stamps — 2012–2017 collection.
20 Stamps vs. 100 Stamps
| Option | Current price | Compare-at price | Listed difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 stamps | $10.66 | $16.40 | $5.74 |
| 100 stamps | $53.30 | $82.00 | $28.70 |
The two options have the same current listed per-stamp price of about $0.533. That means the decision is primarily about how many stamps fit your actual mailing plan rather than chasing a different unit price.
When 20 stamps may fit better
The 20-stamp option can make sense for a shorter holiday-card list, a small set of invitations, or a shopper who wants this particular design without committing to 100 stamps. Starting from the recipient count is more useful than buying a larger quantity simply because it exists.
When 100 stamps may fit better
The 100-stamp bundle may suit households, organizations, or small businesses with a longer seasonal mailing list or additional everyday correspondence. If you routinely use larger quantities, compare it with other options in the 100-stamp collection before deciding.
How to Plan the Quantity
Count the pieces you expect to mail, then add only the buffer that makes sense for your situation. A mailing list that is still changing may need a few extras; a finalized list may not. For a broader planning method, the holiday-card postage planning guide explains how to work from recipient count, format, and mailpiece checks.
Also remember that a stamp count is not the same as a guarantee that one stamp covers every envelope. Postage requirements depend on factors such as weight, size, shape, destination, and mail service. Heavier, oversized, nonmachinable, or international pieces can require additional postage.
What to Check Before Buying
Confirm the selected variant
Because both quantities share one product page, make sure the variant selector shows 20 Stamps or 100 Stamps before checkout. Then recheck the current price and availability for that exact option.
Review the product image and description together
The product image shows the Holiday Windows issue, while the listing identifies the four seasonal motifs and the condition. Using the image and written specifications together is more reliable than choosing from a thumbnail alone.
Understand the seller relationship
ShadowsDeal identifies itself as an independent reseller and is not affiliated with USPS. The store's Independent Reseller Notice provides additional context about third-party names and postal products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are both quantities currently available?
Yes, both variants were available for sale when this article was prepared. Recheck the live listing because inventory can change.
Are these stamps listed as used?
No. The product description lists them as new and unused.
Do the 20- and 100-stamp options have different designs?
The active listing presents both quantities under the same 2016 Holiday Windows issue, which features candle, wreath, star, and Christmas tree designs.
Should I buy 100 just because the compare-at difference is larger?
Not necessarily. Choose the quantity that matches realistic use. The current per-stamp selling price is effectively the same across both options.
A Practical Next Step
If the Holiday Windows artwork fits your seasonal mail, count your likely pieces first and then compare the two live variants. A 20-stamp option can keep a small mailing plan focused, while 100 stamps can support a much larger list. Either way, verify the current product page before making the final choice.
