| A CATALOG OF
PICTURE POSTAGE FOR YOU - THE COLLECTOR |
| Here is a brief explanation
of the system. The numbers are open ended as the Canadian
Bank
Note Company prints new stamps every day. I have
chosen to separate the stamps by border as well as content.
Keeping the animals and people separated seemed to make
sense and the companies and organizations do enough issues
to warrant their own section with the rest being left in a
catch all of miscellaneous. Until Canada
Post brings an end to ordering this 2004 issue there
will be a constant supply of new issues to collect. The
postal stationary that Canada post has issued in place
of individual stamps are a study all of their own and are
described under the PS postal stationary section. The
special Issue for the Winnipeg Jets will probably be
recognized by the Unitrade brain trust as real issued stamps
- but who knows. The assignment of numbers is arbitrary and
in no way indicates date of issue which is unknown in most
of the cases. In the event that a stamp includes an
identifiable person and animal the stamp will be placed in
one category. This too will be quite arbitrary but should
help in organizing your collection. So RI is Ribbon Border - next 2 Letters are: AN= Animals, PE= People, MI= Miscellaneous and OR= Organizations. For Picture Frame Border they start PF and then the same divisions. I hope this clarifies the system for you. With so many stamps now cataloged it is harder to avoid duplication. If you see any let me know and I will correct it. Enjoy |
| On Feb 18,2011 the site
reached a milestone with 200 stamps being cataloged and
numbered from the Picture Postage stamps issued. Then on June 1 it
was 600 and now we
have reached 1000
on October 31, 2011 and 1200
on April 10, 2012. I'm sure 9 or 10 times this many exist
and the search for them continues to be fruitful. If you
have a collection or even 1 that can be included here then
please feel free to e-mail a scan and it will be included.
If you have some info on the stamp or issue please send it
along. If not, most of the stamps are anonymous anyway. Also
covers and cancels are welcome and encouraged. Note: Dec. 31, 2011 - We
Have now reached the end of our first year with 1062
different copies of 2063 and 2064 as well as may others in
the Greeting stamp, Write Me - Ring Me and Alaska Cruise
section. The World Personalized section is nearing
completion and is quite interesting in it's many cultural
differences. Enjoy! Please submit to munsie@shaw.ca.
