Thank you for your concern. Didn’t knew that, but basically I said that I like them 
but yes I can see that they could see my comment different. I edited it.
I have no idea even Posti is issuing matrix code together with their stamp!
Oh nooo… Finnish stamps are one of my favourite!!!

I dislike most of these USPS stamps, a dreary year ahead. The green $1 is great, this new one is boring. Saul Bellow not bad as a replacement for LeGuin. Guess all these flowers are for the wedding invitations crowd …
In addition to the Dragon Year Memorial Stamps mentioned above：
China Post also issued a stamp variety called Dragon Year Celebration Stamps:
And a stamp for normal postcard:
And stamps for maximum postcard:
And a stamp for lettercard:
And a stamp for stamped envolope:
Quite a big family! I love the stamps for maximum postcard best. Which one do you love best?

Yes - they are for Priority Mail and Express Mail, so that is why they cost much more than a standard First Class stamp.

Is there permission to use this Postcrossing logo?
Finland once almost had a postage stamp with this logo, but it was not published, as there was no permission asked.
Somehow I remembered earlier stamp had this, but it was just normal text, so I wonder does any Postcrossing stamp have this official logo?

The image I show is just a sketch, it has not yet gone on sale and the final image is not known

I think there should be permission to have it on the sketch too.
(I know it’s not by you 
, just to help to get proper and “legal” postcrossing stamp (Finnish didn’t do it at all when they couldn’t use the logo, in the newer one, and I’m sad about that))
Maybe it never is on stamps, because it can’t be on items that are sold?
@meiadeleite just checking if you know about this above stamp sketch ^ and you have agreed to it
