Hi all!
I created a online stamp album page creator. It is still a work in progress but it works better than anything I found online. As for now it has the following features:
π¨ Design & Layout Features β Canvas-based layout β Allows users to design a stamp album page visually. β Grid snapping β Shapes align to a 2mm grid for precision. β Multi-page support β Users can add, delete, and navigate through pages. β Customizable border styles β Choose between single or double borders. β Responsive UI β Works on desktop, mobile, and tablets with an adaptive layout.
πΌοΈ Stamp & Text Placement β Add stamps (squares/rectangles) β Users can place stamps of custom sizes and colors. β Add text β Users can add custom text labels for stamps. β Drag & Drop editing β Move stamps and text freely on the canvas. β Long press to delete (mobile-friendly) β Users can long-press to remove elements instead of right-clicking.
π οΈ Customization Options β Stamp customization β Users can set height, width, and color for stamps. β Text customization β Users can choose font, size, and color for text elements. β Format selection β Supports A4 & US Letter page sizes. β Custom border selection β Choose from none, single, or double borders. β Scaling & resizing β Stamps and text automatically scale when switching formats.
π€ File Management & Saving β Export to PDF β Users can save album pages as a high-resolution PDF. β Automatic file name prompt β Users enter a custom file name when saving designs. β Users can now save designs with a custom extension .mypage. β Only .mypage files can be uploaded by default. β Added error handling for invalid file formats.
π± Mobile & Touch Support β Touch-friendly UI β Fully supports touchscreen interactions (tablets & mobile). β Pinch-to-zoom & scrolling enabled β Users can zoom in/out on mobile. β Drag & drop on touch devices β Works with both mouse and touchscreen gestures. β Prevents unwanted scrolling β When dragging elements, the page wonβt scroll accidentally.
Let me know what you think!
The Pan-American issues have always been among my very favorites; the colors and artwork just pop and they tell such a neat story of early 20th century technological achievement! I was stoked to complete my set yesterday, and just wanted to share. :-)
Greetings from Germany. My Dad and I are collecting stamps for quite a while and we have many doubles (ca. 1kg), so I was wondering if somebody maybe wants to trade his doubles? My stamps are mainly from the 1980s to 2010s Germany. A considerable amount is also from Spain, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Switzerland plus a few from all around the world.

I found a copy of the catalog at a used bookstore last weekend. I have an older copy of the full catalog that is now 15 years old and I was looking for an updated copy. However, within a week of purchasing this, I am finding it significantly more useful. Itβs great to have the entire world (through 1940) in a single volume with all the additional information and varieties documented.
Found this in my collection today!
My first thought was a french stamp but didnt turn up much result
Hello everyone!
I have been collecting stamps for 4 years after inheriting my uncle's stamps collection, I have always loved stamps but didn't even thought to look it up on reddit, I have seen you have built a nice community !
I'm really interested in getting the good night moon stamps that are going to be released in 2025 by USPS as I love their aesthetic !
However I'm from Europe and I don't think I can acquire them online through their website and even after searching online I haven't found anything on the topic :(
Any idea on where and how I could get my hands on them please !
Thanks for the read π€
I was sorting through a group of US stamp 1618C's and noticed that on some of the stamps the words "the free" are definitely in brown (the rest of the words are in gray). But on other 1618C's "the free" (as well as the rest of the words) are in gray. My first impression was that it was color fading or an ink thing, but about half are in brown and the other half in gray. Are these 2 different stamp varieties?
Greetings everyone,
Does anyone here actually have any experience sending letters (i.e. sending stamps) via the UNPA and would be willing to help me? For the context: my SOβs father collects stamps and we want to send him birthday wishes through as many UNPA offices as possible for him to recieve the stamps. (Mostly for gags, as we know that he is mainly focusing on other stamps.) However the UNPAβs website is quite confusion to me when it comes to instructions. And all my research left me even more confused. The only office we could visit is Vienna if we need to.
My main questions:
I hot the is the right subreddit for this.
