    Lots of covers are on sale or on auction online, just be careful on choosing dealers. :)

    Do you mean first-day covers? Those are definitely collectible.

    Though if you mean the sort that are printed on for proper postal usage, even then I don't see why they can't be collected. I wouldn't cut them out, keep the entire envelope and maybe write a little note about the stamp or the letter your receive. It makes it really interesting!

    I also think that printed stamps are best to be kept intact in the cover than cutting it. :)

    I didn't know that cover stamps you ment printed ones too because I have
    a few of those. Nothing special.

    I think the triangle might well be a censors mark, I have seen something similar on a Russian postcard from Petrograd during WWI, the other that I have seen was a cachet used by sorters to select items for selection for censorship. The Item is coming from the Orange River colony & the Boer war was still going up to 1902

    Stamps on covers or printed stamps on covers, you can try looking at your local hobby shops or antique shops.

    I see lots of great stamps here, without the canceling mark on them. There are so many to choose from I don't know which is my favorite. They are all good and collectable.

    This cover looks very interesting. I am quite sure those circular stamps are printed or part of the cover. :p

    Even if these stamps weren't currently collectible, you know they would be in the near future. I collect just about anything having to do with stamps, and I am finding there are plenty of people just like me!

    I think these are already collectible since there are some who are already collecting such covers.

    The circular printed stamp on this cover looks great together with its cancel. :)

    Why wouldn't they be collectible? I mean, they're still beautiful, and they are stamps (or at least stamp-related). I haven't seen any of these yet, but they are interesting.

    Yes, these are stamps too and some if not all of it really look interesting and great. :)

    I have never collected the stamps that have been printed on the envelopes. I know my local post office sell them that way. I would rather have the individual stamps.

    Well, they're odder stamps. And I have a saying "The odder, the better!".
