This
site presenting the wonderful world of "stamps on stamps".
The virtual collection, which is based on my private collection,
includes (almost) all the stamps published on this amazing Topic.
The collection is arranged by countries, and can be viewed by clicking on
"Countries
List" in the menu.
I am grateful to everyone who has taken the time to email me with
new issues, scans, corrections, links, and suggestions. Your contributions are
a constant source of inspiration in maintaining this website.
I would like to express my appreciation to Lou Guadagno for his
extensive knowledge and efforts, as well as to the amazing friends from
the SOSCC (Stamps On Stamps Collectors
Club).
A heartfelt thank you goes out to those who have generously sending
me stamps that are missing from my private (real) collection.
Your support is truly appreciated!
The
Collection is classified by Countries List.
I started my stamps on stamps collection years ago when I tried to
combine my grandfather’s transportation on stamps and worldwide collections, my
father’s space on stamps collection and my own fauna and flora collection into
one. The stamps on stamps were the most interesting stamps of all and I decided
to concentrate on this topic, not knowing how fascinating and popular it is.
Starting to look for information regarding the stamps on stamps and the
identification of the stamps inside them I got to know (and later joined) the STAMPS
ON STAMPS COLLECTORS CLUB (SOSCC) and many other sources of
information.
From SOSCC: “The topic of stamps on stamps is one of the most
diverse of all topicals. Ever since Sir Rowland Hill first advocated the use of
prepaid pieces of paper to be adhered to letters to expedite their delivery,
people have been fascinated by the postage stamp. It should come as no
surprise, then, that the postage stamp is being used as a stamp motif, and that
topical collecting of stamps on stamps is popular. The topic of stamps on
stamps is an interesting one in that it covers many different areas and avenues
while still being true to the stamp topic.”
SO, this site is not a commercial site. Sorry,
but I’m not selling anything…..It is a virtual collection of “Stamps on stamps”
and of course the stamps “inside” them or the stamps they “reproduced”
(regarding the “Type A”), most of the “Type SY” or “Type U” and few “Type B”
(those I consider as stamps on stamps).
In addition you will be able to find here some
stories and lots of links to interesting sites that I found.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Type A – Stamp that contain (fully or partly) the original stamp
(some times with modification).
Type SY / U - Stamp that contain an unidentifiable form of stamp:
stamp on an envelope, symbol of stamp, etc.
Type B – Stamp that contain something of the original design or
that use the same design with modifications.

u The
stamps displayed in this virtual collection are not all mine.
They are the best I had the chance to scan or to find in website I visited
(mostly countries' postal agencies and some auction sites). If you have better
scans of those stamps, which you’re willing to add to this collection, please
email them to me (any format is good).
u Some
stamps aren’t to scale - in most cases this is their faultJ.
u I
did my best to ensure that I’m not violate copyrights. Nevertheless, if someone
find here a stamp he scanned and think I’m in anyway violating his rights, so,
first of all I’m deeply sorry, don’t forget this site is not a commercial one,
and if it is still a problem - please e-mail me and I will remove it
immediately.

you have any problems with these pages, please email me.
