小贴士
the ssification of stamps
邮票的分类
definitive stamp 普通邮票（普通邮票既是最古老又是最为常见的邮票种类。购买普通邮票是交纳邮费的一种方式。普通邮票面值齐全，发行量大，票幅较小，图案比较固定。往往多次印刷。）
memorative stamp 纪念邮票（纪念邮票是为某一事件或场合特别发行的邮票。纪念邮票主要面向的是收藏者，通常票幅比较大，设计印刷精致，图案丰富，不允许重印，有特定的发售期限。）
special stamp 特种邮票（为宣传特定事物而发行的邮票，基本上只要不是普通邮票和纪念邮票的邮票都属于此类，范围比纪念邮票更加广泛。）
welfare stamp 福利邮票（又称附捐邮票，是为福利、健康、赈灾、慈善等事业而发行的邮票。其面值分为两部分，一是邮资本身，二是附捐金额。世界最早的附捐邮票是1897年澳大利亚新南威尔士州发行的1便士邮票，其售价比邮票面值高12倍，多余的金额即用于捐赠。）
