Personalized stamps are not so collectible? You think so? Hmmm...http://www.stampbears.com/t300-looking-for-bears#2927

Somebody said: "hmmm i need to make a personal statement and i apologize in advance....

while i think zazzle stamps have there place i dont find them particularly collectible for me.. they look great mind you ... but with it being an open resource any one can make the same image... with the exception of say personal photography...

i am sorry its just my opinion..."

Subject: Re: Looking for bears   Today at 8:21 am      No problem...you can use your own photos, drawing, text. In reality, it's highly improbable that somebody will duplicate exactly another stamp design. If it makes you feel better, there are MILLIONS of identical copies of many regular stamps issued by national postal administrations - and that's fine, too.  Take ANY bear stamp from USPS, for example. They mass-printed it - could be millions. Many have sold, so there are hundreds of thousands of collectors just like you, who own a bear stamp just like yours. IDENTICAL. Don't worry now about petty differences like centering and such. Take ANY bear stamp that YOU can design, buy and sell. You can use a photograph, etc., yours or not, and you can customize it as much as you want. PERSONALIZED. You can buy a sheet of 20, at minimum. Or at maximum, if you so choose. Think about it.  Also: how many regular stamps do you have in your collection about the TIBETAN BLUE BEAR (Ursus arctos pruinosus), for example? . . . .Was that crickets that I heard?  _________________ http://dorincard.blogspot.com

Subject: Re: Looking for bears   Today at 8:40 am      Philately is a great hobby, but there are many ways to actually conduct it. Some are collecting regular stamps, and no cinderellas. Others collect only cinderellas. Or only postmarks. Or only - whatever. Some say "I don't collect from country X", meaning no buying, and some would not even collect those even if getting them gratis. I am open to anything I like, within budget. Sure, I have priorities. Liking does not mean buying, necessarily. If somebody offers me, free, some philatelic item that I like but I wouldn't really want to buy it, then I will collect it, explore it, etc. Anybody can PASSIVELY collect the regular stamps - created by others. All you need is money. But can you design a stamp? Today, yes. And it's free to design. FDCs and other covers involve, too, some creativity. Personalized. Maximum cards can be unique every time you make them. _________________ http://dorincard.blogspot.com
