So why would anyone want to buy IRCs at the "going rate" of $1.30, then
get 84 cents at the post office?

John,
I did a little checking after you email'd me last night, and there was also mention
of this in The Daily DX recently (although I'm on a break at work right now, so I
don't have my DDX archive handy & can't tell you which issue -- I'm sure Bernie
will if need be!).
Bottom line is that it appears that USPS regulations regarding IRC's were NOT
updated when the current large expire-this-year IRC's were issued -- and to
date still haven't.
So, it appears that to rely on being able to redeem current IRC's after 31
December is not wise. I'd strongly suspect that USPS regulations may be
updated by that date. If not, and if a sufficient number of expired IRC's are
redeemed (or attempted to be redeemed) after that date, USPS regulations will
be quickly updated.
In short: Don't get caught holding the bag. Assume that IRC's expire at the
end of the year and plan to use and/or redeem them accordingly beforehand!

Subject: [DX-NEWS] IRC's
I read a recent comment on one of these DX reflectors about the cancellation date on the
new larger IRC's. It basically said that this date relates to issuing (selling) them, and
does not relate to how long we have to redeem them at the post offices for stamps. It
said there is no "drop dead" date for redemption at a post office. I lost track
of this comment article, and and hoping someone will help direct me to the source.
Thank You
