Do personalized stamps have any value?
Yes they do have value.
To those that collect them, and also collect smaller amounts of them than I do, they are fascinating show and tell pictures, signs, pets, people, cars, motorcycles, etc, etc of everything that is important to a person at that time.
Like a snap shot of history on a stamp but really personalized.
On
ebay, for example, the Canada stamps can sell for anywhere from 99c to $26.00 approximately, depending on design, eye appeal, collector interest, competition, etc.
France personal stamps are widely collected. Austria ones are very nice also.
Search on Stamp Community to find many topics about personalized or personalised stamps.
Always different ways to collect them too. Years created, pictures / photos, artwork, animals, cancels, on envelopes (covers), etc.
Canada's stamps are called Picture Postage, also known as Timbres Photo or TP and listed on
ebay as Picture stamps or Picture Postage stamps.
France's are known now at MTM (Mon Timbre a Moi) (My stamp).
Australian ones are called P-Stamps or personalised.
