Just a tad peculiar

March 21, 2007, South Korea issued a pair of personalized stamps,
( Scott 2248-49 )
The stamp and label are listed in Stamp Monthly, label shows the logo
of Scott and their url.
Did Scott do this or the South Korea Post?

The personalized stamps should be divided into at least two categories:

- the generic ones issued by the Post Office to please themselves and/or
the collectors who believe they are buying the authentic personalized
stamps...
- the real personalized stamps ordered by you and me with our
grandchildren on it or our pussycat; or the societies and companies with
their logos etc.

Both categories may have had completely different print technical methods
used for them; the separate methods may be distinguished by the
specialists without having to bother about all the different pictures
applied to them. Listings of these subcategories should find their way
to the catalogues....

The "Sand Dunes" have got nothing to do with this. Although, not facing
the impact personalized stamps have upon modern philately is really
hiding your head in the sand

Since they're 'personalized' scutt would have had to order, thus they
would
have been personalized for them. Doubtful that another 'customer' would
have
sent their purchase.

Frankly, the catalogues should adopt a big red "X" for the personalized
section to indicate that nearly ever sheet will be different and no
'collector' could ever get a 'set'.

Further, perhaps these deserve 'mention' only and not be listed, as done
with the various arab "Sand Dunes".
