I have a stamp collection I am wanting to add photos of the prettiest ones to my stock library. I was wondering if there is any legal reason why I shouldn't do that.
Anyone have any clue?

You don't own those images. That would be like walking into a gallery, snapping shots of the artwork hanging and selling those. You could probably get by with making some sort of collage or 'art made of stamps'.

| With some exceptions the answer is usually that they are copyrighted. |

somewhat related question:
if you took a photo of someone's car, can you put it up as stock? |

Interesting. I would've thought US stamps would be uncopyrighted as works created by the federal gov't. Thanks for the link, Technoshroom!

yes...but you need to remove all distinguishing features, ie. emblems |
