What EXACTLY is "an official post office issue [of stamps]?" Check this from forum.postcrossing.com: "After reviewing this topic I realise it is for official post office NEW ISSUES and have moved some of the messages in here that were about personalised/personal design stamps to the Postcards and Stamps Art section. Please keep this section for official Post Office issues."
Lady Gaga says in a song "Don't call my name!!!". I say "Call my name - that's fine with me." ."Maxi-Cards & OSC 2006 Postmark Reprint of two articles: one featuring a favorite collecting item for one of our MPPC members, and a postmark announcement from out of the past". Meet Bill Porter from THE OLATHE POST, COLORADO, USA, an exceptional mail artist and mail "paraphernalia" provider/manufacturer . I got my own canceller (postmarking device), "Mailer's Postmark Permit", from him, after USPS approved my free application. Any US resident can get one (permit approval), or more! :)

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
