Artistamps, Poster Stamps, and other "Cinderella" Stamps


Unlike the authentic postage stamps offered elsewhere on this site, the items listed on this page are not government-issued stamps meant for the payment of postage, but are collectible stamps created by artists, hobbyists, and/or advertisers.  Artistamps can thought of as miniature reproductions of fine art created by talented artists to document and advertise their work, while poster stamps, as the term implies, can be thought of as miniature stamp-sized posters.  Many of these stamps are co-listed in our topical stamp categories; where this is the case, we are careful to properly describe the items so that they are not confused with authentic government-issued postage stamps.  The majority of our currently listed items are productions of our talented friend W.C. "Bill" Porter of The Olathe Poste.  To learn more about The Olathe Poste and how you can have your own stamps designed, printed, and pinhole-perforated on gummed stamp paper, please click HERE.
