Mania ManiaAlong with collecting Disney videotapes, I collect Disney snowglobes and stamps. So far, my snowglobe pictures aren't worth scanning in (too much glare off the globe). My stamps, however, scanned in quite nicely. I started collecting stamps through the International Collectors Society's Disney New Issue Service, but have since located more economical sources. I do have extras of some of the stamps shown below, so if you're looking to trade or buy, please e-mail [email protected] and I'll send you a list.
Disney Stamps
There are several different types of stamps in my collection. The first two groups are my favourites since each block uses a series of individual scenes from the movie to summarize the entire story. They're also the classic Disney stories that I grew up with, which probably has something to do with my preference for them as well. Clicking on a stamp/plate name will take you to the scan of that stamp. The bracketed number after each stamp name is the scan's file size.
