From time to time these little gems come up in conversation and can generate quite a heated debate.
in the realm of stamp collecting we generally consider DIY stamp "Cinderella's" with no postal value but in some cases (and in some opinions) collectible just the same.
However, i am referring to postally "valid" stamps such as Zazzle and other places that permit you to design the stamp.
Before you get all up in arms (on either side of this conversation) let me put forth a few thoughts and then open the floor to discussion.
these are not released nor approved by any postal authority.
the design is often produced on a exceedingly short run (100 stamps or less, more often much much less).
ANYONE can put these things together and have a "stamp".
now in my opinion - these are at best a novelty and should in no way be considered a "postally valid stamp". while fun and interesting in some cases i think that a Cinderella wit the theme would suffice and be required to be accompanied by a postage stamp in order to be postally valid.
this is simply an opinion thread, DO NOT cast out personal attacks based on peoples opinions. If the moderating/administration team finds that this thread is getting out of hand it will be removed.

) have no postal value. They are not valid for postage, as you said.
That's a $1.65 per stamp..... No brainer folks!!!!
