The FDC issue is now well and clearly solved. My question now, how are the postal stationery and co?. Will there be a few new rules here?. #7875651 #8988585 #7875659 #8988563 #7644691 and a few others, all the same issue.

Frageria good question that I also run into every now and then. To begin with, there is not only the "postal stationery" category, but also "private postal stationery".

Through my eyelashes I thought I recognized that "postal stationery" is blank and "postal stationery-private" addressed/run. This already doesn't match your examples.

In addition, you could say that "postal stationery-private" are by definition unique items and therefore don't belong in LD as such.

I would by the way help to start with a good definition of postal stationery.

Frageria Helv At the risk of forgetting things (and being contradicted again):
- a postal stationery is a pre-printed card or envelope issued by a postal service: yellow postcard, notice of change of address, airmail sheet, ... (regardless of whether it is written or unwritten) --> example 5 seems ok to me. I think there are people who collect this specifically and there is a catalog of this.
- a private postal stationery is just the same, but not issued by a postal service, who exactly puts it on the market I leave to the specialists (regardless of whether it is written or unwritten)
- all circulated (unique) letters are listed under Other (cfr Letter-Postcard-Envelope)
- I don't have the answer for the other 4 examples, they are pre-printed return envelopes to send mail back to a company. Certainly not an FDC or postal stationery, but where are they supposed to be?

user-1713548 I see a number of city and regional mail services in the "postal stationery-private" category. Are they good, because it is called postal service?

#7203815 seems like a stamp within City and Regional Post, but not a postal stationery?

#4681489 is an official Soviet postcard (or maybe envelope which makes more sense internationally to me). This is therefore a "postal stationery" and not a "private postal stationery".

This could be a real "postal stationery private". #5186473 ?
Then the follow-up question immediately arises: Is #5186457 a separate item or a duplication of #5186473 , or the first should have been added to the second as an extra image.

#2821973 resembles the previous one in a way but is even more clearly a one-off issue. I would rather place it under "occasional card" than under "postal stationery-prive".

Helv I don't know enough to answer you, that's for the specialists of those countries. And I'm not claiming that the catalog is perfect either, we still have a long way to go in corrections.
- the first one indeed seems like a seal to me
- I don't know Russia, if you know you can adjust it
- the others you see that they are issued not by the postal service, but by the association/country association of stamp collectors or something similar, so that seems private to me
- certainly no duplication, because it is a different card, and 2 cards in 1 item is also not done for me but nobody can change that if collectors are attached to it (then you have to send everyone a message)
- and the last one is indeed still a private one with even a first day stamp (no, it will not be FDC), private or occasion card I don't know again, I'm concerned about the fact that it has a Michel number (so is it official somewhere?), an occasion card is just something that someone has made in a larger edition (so not official)

And items like #5294503, what do they fall under? Does this meet the requirements for an FDC? It is not a 'special (with image and/or text), printed envelope'. Same goes for occasion envelope.

Frageria "envelope pre-affranchies et pre-imprimées, enveloppes pré-affranchies pour un envoi jusqu'à 20g au départ de la France à destination de la France". As far as a France expert does not contradict me, this comes from "La Poste" and these are therefore postal stationery.
MennoGo You have to go to here, at the topic about FDC. An FDC is the first day of the stamp, an occasion envelope is the first day of the activity (with random stamp). You can already remove major errors, but as written in the message, we are not going to process everything yet. For the time being this is therefore an FDC. I suspect that there will be a second cleaning round for the "home industry" (but then it already helps if they are in 1 place together).

These postal stationery can also be an item, right? They all look the same.

Thank you user-1713548 . I read the recently adapted handbook on FDCs, but missed the addition by Collecteur in the message.

Other question: what is the difference between FDC and Eerstedagblad? Seems the same to me, but they can both be chosen.

The difference is, you can enter an FDC once. You can enter a first daily newspaper as much as you want.

A postal stationery is an item issued by the postal service (of a country) with a pre-printed "postage stamp", such as a postcard, envelope, newspaper wrapper or (air)mail sheet. So normally you don't have to put a stamp on it anymore (exceptionally, when postage costs are exceeded). As one of the displayed pieces also shows: "prêt a poster". However, after the mail has delivered them, nothing or no one will stop you from applying another print. That then becomes a postal stationery - private.
The 5 examples of Frageria  are therefore all postal stationery, but there are a few that also receive the addition private (return envelopes eg).
He is partly right about the examples given by Helv . The question is whether the postcards were also for sale without a printed picture or not.
In Frageria  second row of 6 it may always be the same postal stationery, with different pictures as extra. Depending on the "perpetrator", the qualification "private" may be added. If the postal service immediately provided them with pictures and then sold them, then just postal stationery. If the pictures are printed via a different printer, then private postal stationery. Very gray area, so.
The example of MennoGo  is a postal item, not a postal stationery, because no printed value stamp, but glued stamps and not sold in this form by the post.

Frageria  No, there are dozens of different ones with different publicity. Are there also series of other postcards? Do you know the Views of Belgium or the Publibel in Belgium?
MennoGo I speak for what I know (BE-NL), but I assume it is similar in other countries. An FDC is a cover with a first day stamp. A Eerstedagblad is a card with a firstdagblad (Belgium has the FDS or earlier 1 card with all cancels at the same time, the Netherlands really has a "firstdagblad" (blue, yellow, you name it)). Just look it up.

Where this definition comes from?

And again: As mentioned in the previous post, for now a first day stamp is tolerated as FDC. If it is later decided that they will be "declassified" to postal item/letter/home industry, then they have to go to Other.

A few examples for each of you (choose the right one yourself):

Indeed, I have included the postcards of Belgium (BKnnn) in my collection. Neatly in the Davo magazines that are sold for that purpose. The Davo magazines cost more than the postcards themselves :)

Do you know the Publibels Charles? Frageria   Man, you should definitely fill that gap. What a gem and nostalgia all together in one card!

My plan was to organize all the ones I own neatly and to 'map' them within my collection using LD. A year and a half ago, I had bought the latest catalog 'De Postal Stationery of Belgium' especially for it, and the special Michel catalogs about this (Ganzsachen).
But everything else always comes in between, so that all those pieces of paper are now somewhere in between. ...  Joost knows where but I don't anymore :)

Raoul, I've had a look at the Publibels (a really strange name). Pure history, and as you say gems. There's more to this Ganzsachen than I thought. I'll just leave it alone.

And also with the Publibels the same misery as with other philatelic derivatives ... You can't get them together in the right order on LD.
They have a number, but that is not allowed as 'sequential number in the issue' are used. Issue also contains the year, as a result of which this 'long-running' series has been broken into pieces. Thanks to the misuse of the 'Printer' field, you can get several hundred together. But industrious users sometimes remove that, leaving gaps in the 'overview'.
But they are (wanted) gems that are world-renowned.

Those Publibel cards have a serial number on the card. Nice and easy for identification. In any case, I have always stated that number in the details of the cards I entered. Please note: often both a French-speaking and a Dutch-speaking person present. My favorite is controlling the Colorado potato beetle.

Come on, a little activity can't hurt. Choose country=Belgium, then Everything, type Colorado potato beetle, and you will find it immediately. Details field is also simply searched. Sort by issue date.

I don't collect Publibels myself, so I'm looking for a volunteer with a good catalog. The first ones are not numbered, after a while it does get easier.
I have recently cleaned up the Issues according to the seal on them, in the hope that people will stay away from them.
Many numbers are entered at Sequence number in the issue (and I haven't heard anyone complain yet), but sometimes leading zeros are used and sometimes not, ie the logic is hard to find.

7451Dick Yeah, handy if you're looking for a Colorado potato beetle, but not so handy if you're trying to clean up the catalog and search for a frequently used word that occurs thousands of times.
