Personalized stamp
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A personalized stamp is a postage stamp where a picture or photograph can be added to the stamp by a member of the public, or some non-governmental entity.
The United Nations has permitted personalization of labels adjoining its stamps.[1] (http://www.un.org/Depts/UNPA/person/person.jpg)
Although most postal regulations permit the exclusion of "objectionable" pictures on the stamps, The Smoking Gun in its investigation managed to create U.S. postage stamps featuring the Rosenbergs, Jimmy Hoffa, Ted Kaczynski, Monica Lewinsky's dress, Slobodan Milosevic and Nicolae Ceaucescu.
Within a few weeks of the article detailing this abuse, PhotoStamps revised its policies, and as of September 2004 the company no longer accepted images that included adults or teenagers. The marketing test later ended, but a new marketing test later occurred.
