I am not sure what the poor little things did to deserve that rant but it is .24 for the regular ones and .39 for the jumbo ones.

IIRC it was $0.22 and now is $0.23. Not guaranteed.  
The web site at \*\* Stamps etc. \*\* is clueless.  
Another gov’t service without the service.  
Call your nearest PO for the price of stamps for mailing post cards.
