The Postage Stamp Problem, is to find the largest integer n = n(h,A) such that {1, . . . , n} hA.In this paper we present a new proof of the result of St¡§ohr that say how to calculate n(h,A) when A has two elements. From this result we show that if h is a positive integer there exists a set A which is an extremal (, h) basis and an extremal (, h+ 1) basis for two stamps.In addition, we find the cases when exist a set which is an extremal (, h) basis and an extremal (, h + 1) basis in the case of three stamps. %K Postage Stamp Problem %K Additive bases %U http://revistasigma.udenar.edu.co/articulos/Vol%C3%BAmen%20X%20No%201/2.pdf
