I think the main point in listing or not should be discussed, but their is a person who does have last say. His name is ADMIN. Instead of everyone sniping why not send a message with this thread linked?

Now just to throw my opinon on this, not that it actually means anything because of, you know, that ADMIN guy, but if a "Stamps set" is to be listed it should be akin to this set.

These were actually sold in packs at Canada Post post offices, and they have a back. They are intended to be collected as cards, but can be used as a stamp if the user so desires. The "stamps" are stickers that can be peeled off the back, much like Topps/OPC Sticker sets of today and the late 80s.

Since Admin won't remove baseball stamps, I guess it's open season to start adding my stamp collection.  If baseball is allowed, then all sports and Non-sport (Presidents, etc) should be allowed.

I just looked it up and the first postage stamp was issued May 1, 1840 and the first general issue postage stamps were issued July 1, 1847. If someone is going to add them they had better start now or they'll never get finished. All Countries Stamps, Sports and Non-Sports, must be included otherwise it will look discriminatory. Good Luck. I even collect some stamps, but I do not think they should be included in the Database. A can of worms will be opened up here that even the people who want stamps included will soon regret that they did (Or at least the L8's will). Do we have any resident Stamp Experts on TCDB? Please step forward.

I'm pretty darn sure Chuck was using sarcasm and was not looking to add stamps to this site at all. It is a TRADING CARD database, not oe for stamps. If into stamps please go here

Edit: And for the record, IMO pure stamps as discussed here should not be listed on this site. The stamps issued IN the 60's OPC sets and 61 Topps set are oay to be listed.

I am not stepping forward. I am not a stamp expert.

I am, however, speaking out.

I will NOT add any stamps to this site unless they fall strictly within the rules of site for inclusion (made by a card manufacturer or included with cards). If I see an IR come in for the addition of one, I will ignore it. If it sits for more than a week with no movement, I will mark it as Admin Needed. I will allow Admin to handle it as it is seen fit.

I will not be party to this.
