1. Earning the Patch: If you
are working on the postage stamp project as an individual
then you will need to collect 8 stamps to earn the postage
stamp patch. Average groups of 10 would need to collect 80
stamps, or 8 each. Ask parents or companies to collect the
stamps for you at local businesses. Then you can sort and
trim them at home.
Some basic steps to follow:
2. Stamps: You can send NEW unused stamps or cancelled
stamps. All designs are accepted--- flag, Limited Edition,
bulk rate, non-profit, Love, post card and Foreign stamps.
3. Saving the stamps: Please leave a border around
the stamp of the background paper it was placed on, making
sure all corner fringe and borders are not clipped. Even if
the stamp gets damaged or trimmed to close, they can still
use it. (Don't throw any stamps away, simply donate them!)
4.Metered postage: No metered mail postage are accepted,
only actual stamps.
5. Organizing Stamps: Simply place the stamps in an
envelope or Ziploc bag for delivery. If you would like to
sort your stamps as a group ahead of time, please place the
commemorative stamps in one bag, regular issue in a separate
bag, and foreign stamps in a third bag. (A commemorative
stamp is a postage stamp that special released that year.
It is usually issued to honor or commemorate a place, holiday,
event, person, floral, or object.)(A regular issue stamp
example is a flag stamp.)
6. FOREIGN STAMPS: If you are collecting foreign stamps,
please do not trim the stamps. The stamps are worth more with
the cancellation still attached to the stamp.
7. Submitting Stamps: [Use the stamp ministry address
below to mail your stamps not to order your patch.]
Your stamps should be sent directly
to:
Alliance Stamp Ministry
15000 Shell Point Blvd.
Fort Myers, FL 33908
How do they make money? The stamp ministry volunteers
sort them into bundles and sell them to stamp collectors.
