This is my diabetic cat OBI! I think, therefore I am - I think! Descartes, sort of!

I saw a couple really nice groups of revenue stamps in the auction area today. They were called Cinderellas. They made me wonder exactly what the definition of a Cinderella stamp is. Just curious.

re: Just a question of a definition

Cinderella is a catch all for all kinds of labels that adorn envelopes but that have no postal validity of any sort.

They include poster stamps, exhibition stamps, seals of all kinds, pretend stamps (Lundy, Staffa, Ajman), and unofficial locals (Snake Island).

There are many groups out there that specialize in various Cinderellas: Poster Stamp Society, Yuletide Society, Christmas Seal and Charity Stamp Society, and more.
