Postal stationery falls under the postage stamps. It is only difficult to see whether these are envelopes with an imprinted value stamp (including fake teeth) or with an affixed stamp. That determines the category postal stationery/occasional envelope.

Postal stationery envelope/card with a postmark on the day of issue = FDC/Eerstedagkaart.
Postal stationery envelope/card with special cancellation on the occasion of something (eg 1st Concorde flight) = occasional envelope/occasional card.
Whether the base is a blank (or decorated) envelope/card with a (postage stamp, or an embossed stamp on it, doesn't matter I thought. It's what is made of it.

However, a stamped postal stationery envelope/card can be added as a postal stationery, just as a stamped stamp may be added as an item. Anyone who later has a virgin (unused) copy can then 'improve' the image.
But not a postal stationery specially stamped on the first day of issue. That is and remains a First Day (cover of card). There you may not replace the image with an unstamped copy.

Isn't it all right? Or am I mistaken?

You're bringing in things that don't serve it. The FDC cry is irrelevant.

???
was just a question, because I recently had a discussion about it with a user.
At 2003 Marianne (Luquet) there are postal stationery and occasional envelopes based on a postal stationery.
I thought they all deserved their place under stamps (as an answer to the original question).

But I infer from your response that this is not the case. If that determines the category (the imprinted stamp), then it does not matter whether there is an additional first day postmark or an occasional postmark (and decoration). It must therefore all become 'postal stationery' ... and then there are many duplications (spread over Postal Stationery, FDC and First Day Card). Is new to me.
I would have interpreted it differently based on the many items that have been in it for years. If you tell me now that this is wrong, I'll start the big cleaning tomorrow.

There is no definition of a postal stationery yet.

Nonsense. You can enter multiple types and you know that too. A postal stationery with a first-day cancellation becomes a postal stationery and an FDC or First-day card (change definition). A postal stationery with a commemorative postmark becomes a postal stationery and a commemorative envelope/card.
Charles1971
Maybe send a message to Domi36. He will be able to tell whether it concerns imprinted stamps or pasted ones.
Hopefully the definition of postal stationery will also come soon.

enter multiple types
Of course I know that. But with an FDC I will not fill in both FDC and Seal.
Logically, you don't do that for both FDC and postal stationery. Logical conclusion right? And it has a functional benefit not to do that (*)

I ask mainly because in Japan I have several nests of such items that I no longer dare to touch. Next litter, for example, I had come across in my zeal to make the issue names in accordance with the handbook (starting with year).

#8031051 , for example, is a postal stationery from 1981 that was enriched in 1982 with decoration and cancelling. It appears as an occasional card. I guess correctly.

#8028863 and #8028853 are always based on the same postal stationery, with special cancellation. They are also on LD as an Occasion card. I thought correctly...

#8028837 I had changed from occasional card to postal stationery, but I think it might still be better as an occasional card in the catalog.

#8032583 I thought Post Stationery, but perhaps this is the first day card (earliest possible date of cancellation that I find).

The real postal stationery in this nest, as it was issued and sold at the counters (without decorations and without special cancellations) ... that is actually not yet present on LD.

(*) Double species in one item I want to avoid as much as possible. You can be tempted especially with custom work, but then you run into problems with the filters. When filtering on 'Postal Stationery', I want to see the items that are postal stationery.
It is not possible to indicate multiple choices in the filters using the mathematical operations (AND - OR - NOT).
When assigning multiple types to items, all that work will disturb the overview of the selection. Unworkable for the postal stationery collector. Then a number of filters become useless (overshoot their target) and it is better to omit fields such as 'Kind' in the long run.
As far as I know, only a limited number of combinations of types are effective (useful and usable): Seal + Series , Series + Se-Tenant and Seal + Seal with tab (if the seal item without tab is not present on LD).

The postcard shown was issued on April 1st,1981.
The bird on the imprint is a phenix (and not a cock).
Occasional card ?
I thought this would be an illustrated card,sold for some event,occasion etc.

Except of the first card,what looks like privately produced commercial advertising-card,all are blanco cards just with a scenic cancel(lation).
I thought same basic stationery,FDC and the like,what just have a 
different cancellation were not allowed for listing on LD.

I had asked you about similar cards of the Ryukyus,wether I could
add them to the catalogue,but received no answer.
At least I would list only those,where I know,or at least can imagine
the occasion for what the cancel was made for.
(What is not the case with the ones you have shown above.)
So,I think,unless there is a special listing of (commemorative) cancels
on L.D.,what I am not aware of,such cards should not be listed.

For now, I don't really know myself anymore. One says 'all postal stationery', the other 'postal stationery' and 'opportunity card' (or FDC), I think 'occasion card' or FDC, and you think 'not on LD'.
I'll wait a bit, maybe there will be an answer here that contains a good idea.

Anyway, the answer to the original question (all rightly in the stamp section)... I'm starting to doubt that.
Charles1971 is right to ask the question 'is all this really allowed on LD in the stamp section'. It sometimes becomes a lot in certain issues (when the side issue overshadows the main issue).

I think, to begin with, as az60 and Raoul62 indicate, a good definition of postal stationery takes things a bit further. Seems like a good start to me?.

But with an FDC I will not fill in both FDC and Seal.
You are right about that. But seal has always been the exception. That is why we never do the combination of stamp and variant. Stamp was reserved for the (shape of the) loose stamp as it appeared on the first day of issue, the standard stamp. Later, deviating forms never received the species Zegel, but were called varieties. (Variety is linguistically incorrect , must be variant).
And there is a functional benefit not to do that.
When filtering on 'Postal Stationery', I want to see the items that are postal stationery.
I don't see that one. If an item has the Postal Stationery and Occasion card types, then you will not see that item when you filter on Postal Stationery, right? And if you filter by Occasion envelope / card, you will see it anyway. So I still don't see what you mean here. So if you can give me more clarity here, I'd appreciate it.
I want to avoid double species in one item as much as possible.
That is a great goal, quite a challenge. But with so many different ways of spending, so many different countries, I expect you won't be able to avoid assigning multiple types to one item.

As a layman, I would like to venture into your field and take a critical look at the postal stationery of Japan. Moreover, my Japanese isn't what it used to be :-), so I offer you every opportunity to return a good portion of criticism. But maybe it will help you in your mind struggles.
But maybe I'm thinking too rigorously again. (refers to the view below):
Japan 1966/1967
The only visible differences are the postmarks. I assume no First Day Postmark. Also does not meet Occasion card (no occasion image or text next to the stamp. So everything except for 1 item belongs in the postmarks section. We save the stamp image, not the stamp on it*. The stamp looks a bit like #1236551 . Does it not fit issue 1966 Plants, animals and national heritage ?
Japan 1972/1975
Same goes for. If you want to leave everything as it was, I would at least place the 3 ornament postal items under the same issue: 1972 postcards, so that you can select all 3 together.
Japan 1976/1980
Idem. At least everything in 1 issue. With the exception of that airmail envelope, of course.
#8031051 has a nice image, but is it in the context of an occasion or is it advertising a Japanese eatery? The latter does not make it an Occasion Envelope / Card :-)
#8028863 and #8028853 are not occasion cards in my opinion, because they do not meet the definition (no image or text next to the stamp). Just all variations on the same item #8028837 or #8032583 . Variations in the stamp, so not in the stamp catalogue.
I can already see the boomerang coming back :-)

But again, everything depends on what definition is attached to a postal stationery. And whether we want to continue to display all commercial fuss or whether we want to stick to our starting point as much as possible: a stamp catalogue.

There's something in it...
Do I need to think about it again. I have only become custodian of Japan as one-eyed in the land of ... You know.
And mainly because there were > 12,000 outstanding reviews that eventually had to be processed ;) Normally mission completed, but I linger due to such headaches.
But not a bad line of thought ... to 'postmarks'.
Surely that would solve the problem you mentioned
I don't see that one
I can see it: if I want to see 'postal stationery', I should not see those pieces with frills on them (stamping with a shrimp, for example) appear in the result. Only the postal stationery (as sold at the counters: immaculate).

az60 and Charles1971 I don't know who Jan Renkema is but my Wolters dictionary assigns some more meanings to Variety:
  1. Variety;
  2. Form deviation in plant and animal species;
  3. Subgroup that deviates from the main group in a subordinate point.

Number 3 seems pretty appropriate to me. Having said that, I myself have to be very careful not to type "variant".

I think I now understand what you mean.
In my own definition I see no problem. In principle, 1 copy of each mail item remains (although there may be catches). Preferably a MNH copy, as sold at the counter. If not in stock with stamp. But that pretty much covers what you want, I think. If all different postmarks are to be preserved, I would put them away as variants. In that case, only the MNH copy from the counter will be given the type of Postal Stationery and the stamped forms must then become the type of Postal Stationery (variant). I think you got it the way you want it? And if Helv likes Post Stationery (variant), of course :-) Otherwise, variety again :-).

I don't know the best man either, but I thought it was interesting what he had to say about it. And I admit, it was right up my alley. Sometimes I do a bit of mood making :-) But the discussion is now underway. That is beautiful. Let's see if it gets a sequel.

Internationally, I think there is talk about:
NL = Variety - Varieties
AND = Variety - Varieties
DE = Sorte - Sort (also Variante - Variants)
FR = Variety - Varieties

My conclusion is that we leave it in Dutch as it is now.

Okay, it is clear that a postal stationery also falls under stamps. But how many postal stationery, with the same imprinted stamp, are included in the category stamps?. It cannot actually be that if there is a different picture or a different address on the piece, this is immediately a new item in the section stamps ?.

Another cancellation is postmarked again, or am I crazy?.
See example of the first post,

2003 Marianne (Luquet) or 1998 World Cup - France54

'Personalised' postal stationery?
All made in edition, and postage valid ...

'Personally personalized stamps' are also all allowed in the stamp catalog... The proposal to allow one item of it (the 'frame') has plummeted.
Take a look at NL at the back (with filter on 'All'), at the items without year (actually without data): Dog - Child - Monkey - ME - Girl - Tulip - Bird - Lady - Person - Child - ...
Those who want to do original: Gulp is not listed yet ;)
