Do you collect them or use them?

AWESOME, thanks for sharing, I was wondering when new ones would come available! I hate using just boring old stamps.

It's good to see these come out.
truedisneyfan: They are good for postage.

Of course, there area HUGE numbers of Disney Stamps available from numerous other countries. Those are quite collectable.

Do you collect them or use them?

Never, enshrine them, frame them, display them, but never use them!

I have a sheet with a gold border and a powder blue border, they are currently packed with the remodel, not sure now which one I missed now.

Is this the last set they are doing?

Do you collect them or use them?

We purchased one sheet of each set to keep in the glassine envelopes that the PO gives them to you in, *{I guess this kind of classifies as "collecting" stamps,} then buy about 200+ of each style to use throughout the year.

* The PO LOVES when clods like us do this!

It's nothing new, but for those who don't know, you can create your own not-boring USPS stamps using your own photos/artwork. There are several services that print these, one of which being Zazzle ( http://www.zazzle.com/custom/stamps )
