What Are The Different Types Of United States Postal Stamps?
There are three common types of United States postal stamps. The first is a definitive stamp, which refers to regular postage for everyday mail purposes. The most valuable definitive stamps are usually those that contain errors. The second is commemorative stamps, which pay tribute to a particular event or historical figure. The third type is a "special" stamp, which typically relates to a special occasion, such as a holiday. They are usually larger than definitive stamps. Collectors often seek special stamps depicting a pop culture icon, animal, or geographical locale.
How Can You Care For And Preserve U.S. Stamps?
Handle valuable stamps while wearing cotton gloves to avoid damage caused by the oils in your skin, and place the stamps on acid-free stamp papers. For delicate stamps, use stamp tongs when transferring the stamps to albums and display frames. Remove any dust particles with a soft brush, and store the stamps in an area that is relatively cool and has low humidity levels.
Which Are The Most Valuable U.S. Stamps?
The 1867 Abraham Lincoln stamp is one of the rarest and most valuable United States stamps, valued at over 200,000 dollars, as well as the 1867 Benjamin Franklin stamp. The Declaration of Independence stamp issued in 1869, the 1867 George Washington stamp, and Curtiss Jenny airmail postage stamp of 1918 are also valuable. No wonder we get so many weird listings of "rare" and "valuable" stamps on ebay. |

There are three types of ebay stamps. Those that produce small fees, those that produce medium fees and those that produce large fees. |

Not to be pedantic, but there is a 4th type which encompasses the VAST majority of stamp listings on ebay: those that produce NO fees because they don't ever sell. |

Focus on the initial post: Did ebay crowd source the text or was it written off shore in some other language and translated by an illiterate translator? |

Again with the 'Postal' stamps! It's POSTAGE, you ninnies. But then it's ebay, after all. They clearly have people who know nothing at all about collecting stamps designing their pages and doing the write ups. Some teenage intern does all that. |

It was written by the Third Assistant Technical Deputy of Postal Matters and Automotive Affairs in Bangladesh based off of a wiki synopsis and after translation from English to Farsi and back to English some of the polish was lost. |

Maybe we should contact ebay, offer to make 'corrections' to their write up. Wonder how hilarious we could make it? |
