Mario, It's not a scam. Stamps.com will let you put any photo on a postage stamp.
http://photo.stamps.com/PhotoStamps/?source=si10958644 This guy just chose to put Tillie on a bunch of stamps, marked them up $5.00 a sheet, then posted on here how his "friend" "discovered" these stamps. Pretty brilliant marketing, but I think I'll order a set of Convention Hall directly for my Christmas Cards instead. Incidentally, Stamps.com used to be more lax on what they would allow on a postage stamp. thesmokinggun.com tested their censors & ordered a whole bunch, such as Monica's Blue Dress, the Unabomber, McGreevey & his lover, etc. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0426051_photostamps_1.html --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > There was a site called tilliestamp.org whose purpose was to gather > signatures for a tillie stamp petition.
