I went to the post office today looking for cool stamps. Help me decide. (poll)

I still pay bills by mail but I try to give the task a semblance of joy by using stamps that mean something to me. I refuse to stick those generic flag stamps on. I usually save a couple from each sheet in case I send something special to a friend. I have some Woodstock, Spongebob, Jeopardy (they look like the answer board and mention Trebek), and Native American stamps.

Today, the young lady at the counter pulled two new sheets. One was William F Buckley, and the other was Jimmy Carter. I laughed and told her she was forcing me to pick a side, but I don't think she got it. Neither was in the public eye when she was born.

Help me decide but don't take too long. haha
