Really depends if you would be otherwise investing that money in a way that beats stamp prices. Stamp prices very consistently outpace inflation.

Over the past 5 years, they've beaten:

* VT stock (total world index fund)

* US I-Bonds (inflation-indexed bonds)

* Fed rate for T-Bills / any HYSA

* Any other bonds
