Identify and Collect the Stamps on Your Postcards

Many postcrossers ask for “nice stamps, please” — and end up with a remarkable stamp collection without trying. Stamp Atlas identifies the stamps on each card and keeps them in your collection, still on the card where they belong.

What you get

Found and identified for you

Every stamp on the card is picked out and suggested — country, year, value and theme — for you to confirm.

No soaking, no scissors

Stamps stay on the card. They are catalogued “on cover”, the way many collectors prefer them anyway.

One collection, two hobbies

Stamps from your postcards sit alongside the rest of your stamp collection and on the same atlas map.

Postmarks too

Record cancellations and special postmarks — first-day and pictorial postmarks are collectibles in their own right.

How it works

  1. 1

    Photograph the stamp side

    All stamps on the card are detected at once.

  2. 2

    Confirm the matches

    Check or correct each suggestion.

  3. 3

    Collect without removing

    Stamps join your collection, linked to their postcard.

Questions

What if I already soak stamps off my cards?
That works too — catalogue the loose stamp as usual and link it to the postcard it came from. Our guide to soaking, sorting and storing stamps explains how to remove them safely.
Can I see which stamps I still need?
Yes. Stamps from postcards count towards your country map and want lists, so you can see which stamps you’d love a sender to use next.
