Anyroad, just letting you know you can still buy them.

Um no. I am just now asking a friend to buy a sheet of Heburn stamps, because I don't like doing anything electronic over the internet. Don't confuse avialibility with being still "in print". You can still buy Sacagawia coins, but that does not mean the government still prints them.
What do you mean ‘Um no’? I just told you can still buy Katherine Hepburn stamps, you just told me you’re buying them. Where does the ‘no’ come in?

Through the post office ninny. They are not in print anymore. So you have to buy them back alley. Just look for the guy in the used London Fog jacket with the multiple phony Rolexes.
Since when is Amazon 'back alley'?
I don't see what difference it makes if you bought them from the post office or if you buy reproductions. I have a small reproduction of the Helmet Maker's wife (it's on my desk right now). Does it matter that I didn't buy it from Rodin?

I recall buying a couple of sheets of those stamps about ten or eleven years ago. It's too bad the sheet didn't include her atheist quote, but only a minority of the general public would have bought them if it did.

It's called sarcasm.
No, it’s really not. If you intended sarcasm, you did it poorly.
