Canadian
Guide Dogs for the Blind collects used postage stamps
to raise funds for our organization. We collect
special issues, commemorative and foreign stamps, but
not everyday regular stamps.
Care to help us? Here’s how:
Cut
or tear the stamp from the envelope (but not too
close). When you tear off the stamps please leave
at least one-quarter inch of paper around the stamp.
This protects the perforations. If these are damaged,
the stamp is worthless. There is no need to include
the postmark. Either drop off the stamps at our
Training Centre in Manotick, Ontario, or place them
in an envelope and mail them to us.
A stamp has no value if it has:
- Damaged perforations
- Been torn or creased
- A very black cancellation mark
- A ballpoint or pencil mark (done to cancel the stamp)
- Scotch tape or any other paper on stamp
Metered postage is of no value as there is no actual stamp. This also applies to the printed stamp on airmail.
