Subcategory - Embossed Stamps
As a collector of unique stamps in the embossed category, there are many stamps available and not in my collection due to a large number/very expensive. I have generally avoided collecting stamps where there is a large number to collect as it becomes very difficult to collect each and every one. So the few embossed stamps in my collection are being showcased. (Apologies to fans of embossed stamps)
