A special stamp is a type of postage stamp typically intended for use on special occasions and holidays that occur repeatedly. Christmas stamp s, with a seasonal design, and used in vast numbers to mail Christmas card s, are the most familiar, but in recent years a number of other types have appeared. The characteristics separating special stamps from definitivestamp s and commemorative stamp s are not precise like definitives, they are working stamps printed in large quantities and mostly used on mails, but they also commemorate specific occasions and typically have a more elaborate and attractive postage stamp design design . Unlike commemoratives, they are issued some weeks in advance of the occasion being marked, so that they are available during the season of interest. In addition to Christmas, many other holidays have been marked by special stamps Japan has long issued New Year s Day stamp s for postcards, and other nations have followed suit. Many nations also issue stamps for their independence day, United Nations Day , and other official national holidays, although these tend to have the character of commemoratives the populace does not usually send special cards or letters to mark these days. Holiday stamp Saint Valentine.27s Day stamp Love stamps are designed around a love theme. In the United States , they were first issued in 1973. Generally timed to appear before Valentine s Day , they are also used on wedding invitation s throughout the year. The United Kingdom and United States have issued various greeting card stamps with slogans replicating standard greeting card topics, such as Happy Birthday and Get Well . These seem not be have been especially successful, and are not often seen on mail.

In philately a regummed stamp is any stamp without gum, or without full gum, that has had new gum applied to the back to increase its value. Unused stamps with full original gum OG on the back are worth more than stamps without gum or complete gum, for instance those that have been mounted using a stamp hinge . Until the 1970s it was common for stamps to be mounted using hinges and there was little difference in value between unmounted and previously hinged stamps. Since then a significant price difference has developed between the two types of stamps and unscrupulous stamp collectors and dealers have been tempted to regum previously mounted stamps to make them appear as if they have full original gum. Regumming may take place just to remove traces of mounting or to disguise more serious faults or repairs, in which case the whole stamp may be given new gum. Regumming to hide repaired faults ... in colour or texture between the old and new gum. In addition, a stamp where all or a large part of the gum ... the stamp to curl in a different direction to the same stamp with the original gum. Another test is to use a magnifying glass to see if gum has gathered on the perforation edges of the stamp. This will not occur with an original gum stamp as the normal method of stamp production is to perforate ... tiny hairs descending from the edge of the stamp. Examination of these hairs will help detect a regummed stamp. Remember, with this test it is important not to look at the gum, but rather the perforation edges. The edges will be somewhat hairy on an original gummed stamp, but on a regummed stamp ... that may only be caught by an expert. If none of the normal tests are definitive then collectors will often obtain an opinion from an expert as to the status of the stamp. Here the experts will examine the stamp and may even run a chemical analysis on it to determine originality. This is known as having the stamp expertised .

The second Baron, Wilfred Carlyle Stamp, holds the record for having held a peerage for the shortest length of time. On 16 April 1941, the first Baron Stamp was killed by a German bomb, as was his son Wilfred. Legally, the son was presumed to have died a fraction of a second after his father, and therefore is supposed to have succeeded to the title for that short amount of time. The second Baron was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baron. As of 2010 the title is held by the latter s son, the fourth Baron, who succeeded in 1987. Like his father he is a physician.
