Backs of Stamps~was skill test for newbies
Hi
As a long time collector of revenues and currently working on a catalogue of US revenue perfins, from looking at the backs of hundreds of thousands of stamps, it looks like Brazil to me. Art Backs of stamps? what an ideal place to advertise. http://cjoint.com/data/hekGLTt0BE.htm |

It appears that this ad was handstamped on the back,
after the stamp had been used. According to collectors of ad-stamps, they collect / catalogue two types. 1) Cinderellas - poster type stamps advertising a product. 2) Postage stamps with ads PRINTED: a) on adjoining labels; or b) on the back BEFORE the stamps were gummed. A good example of the latter is New Zealand in the 1890s. http://cjoint.com/data/heoxt4oMQG.htm I suppose today that personal photo stamps (AU, CA, etc.) could be used to carry a commercial message. It would be expensive though. In Canada, you pay about $1 for a fifty cent stamp, under this scheme. Blair |

Rodney:
Do they specify the criteria for vetting / approving the photo for the stamps? Blair |

"Rodney" wrote in message ... Hi Blair, probably much the same as yours. eg: http://cjoint.com/data/hfbIcjyGJv.htm Best Regards, Rodney There are I think many examples of pictures getting through of people whom the US Government regards as terrorists or war criminals. I am sure that Blair can recite a few amusing examples. On the other hand I am sure that many others have been spotted and rejected by the staff operating the vetting process. It would be interesting to know the guidlines to which the staff have to work. Regards, Roger |

Let's trust just two simple guidelines,
common sense, married with a disclaimer . | There are I think many examples of pictures getting through of people whom | the US Government regards as terrorists or war criminals.

Are you sure about that? I thought that German expertisers still did. But, I guess, they are not really a committee. Look in http://www.bpp.de/pages/pordnung.html , section 6.

Are you sure about that? I thought that German expertisers still did. yes, they are still doing it But, I guess, they are not really a committee. they are single expertisers. Each one has is a specialist for a certain area. And all are organisised in the BPP Look in http://www.bpp.de/pages/pordnung.html , section 6.
