Nope. All the stamps are self-stick. Nice try, though.

The responses have been interesting however! A later response
pointed out that one does not lick US stamps anymore so even
that's that's no justification. Just to be a little more OT, I
collect cancelled stamps for a young friend and it is still
possible to remove self-stick stamps by soaking in water since
the underlying envelope softens even if the glue doesn't.

Seems to me foodies send (or order) foodstuffs (or kitchen
equipment) through the mail quite often. This screwball
re-do of the first-class rates throws a primate wrench into
the mailorder business. Just think about this -- you can no
longer just set your package onto the scale sitting in the
post office lobby and read off the first class mail amount.
Heck, I bet the postal workers will not be able to figure it
out for the next little while. And the mail sorters who have
to flag and remove packages with underpostage? I don't even
want to think about it. Somebody give me a pill.

This could help tho' I'd much rather have simple formulas that
did not require me to log on the Internet and they could easily
have given dimension ranges on the page.
