I'm helping my 10-year-old daughter with reading comprehension, but I think you need that too. And where do you get that I offend you? If you mean that you should not be pointed out mistakes...?

The album is not yet in this catalogue, but it is indeed quadrilingual:

Ok but what is it all about?
So this is in a 'stamp thread'.
But I can't see it in the distance...
I see something with characteristics of a postcard but also of an album picture.
That some super administrator tell me where this belongs.
Or a reaction from someone from Postcards and Album Pictures/Collection Albums.

As a general response to this item and not specific to individual comments.

The item #8786865 has been released in bags to stick it in the Grand Prix compilation album, which makes it an album picture for me. The fact that the item then looks like a postcard does not matter in my opinion to include the item in the Album pictures section.

The bags they came in do not speak of postcards, but of large color photographs (as seen below):


For further discussion about this item you can, if desired, also send me a message so that we no longer use the stamp topic for this item.

az60 I'm interpreting Rene's response in the other thread as meaning we want to keep the same items together. So as postal stationery (cards, envelopes or folding letters with pre-printed stamp) can also be included in that category if only the front is different. Incidentally, in that case the back is also often different due to numbering and description.

I think it would be more convenient to close this thread and respond in the other thread (despite the fact that the initial question there was something else).

Well yes... 'cartes postales' and 'picture postcards' ... translate into Dutch as picture postcards.
And you can't expect everyone to enter such an item at Album Pictures.
Certainly not French speaking.
And no Fleming either. A postcard is 'colloquial language' in Flanders for picture postcard/postcard. THE 1st time I saw the word 'postcards'.. well that was on LD/Catawiki...
So there are already differences above and below the moerdijk. But that's not new...

Indeed, but postcard is a clear term that makes the difference in Dutch.

Type or paste the following sentence into Google Translate and then look at the translation in English, French or German ... Translated, it's all a mess.

"what's the difference between a postcard, post card, post card?"

For a stamper (that is a collector ) there is indeed a difference.

'Postal Stationery' is clearly and differently translated. In every language there is knowledge about these items. And yet ... those items are scattered at Other, Postcards and Stamps. Therefore LD is useless for the stamp collector who collects Ganzsachen.

Every major catalog brand that respects itself also publishes books (catalogues) about Postal Stationery. And in those books, there are no postcards in between lol :)

Relegating a postal stationery with an image on the back to a postcard is vulgarizing to almost the lowest possible. A little lower and they are all items for a global category 'Paper', with the slogan: 'Paper here'. And the same function as at the origin of that slogan.
If you turn a Post Stationery into the hands of a non-collector, that's what they do with it: garbage can. He will not look at LD to add it somewhere or put it in a collection. After all, LD is "The World's Largest Collector's Catalog & Community". Not for non-collectors.

A pity for the sellers.
I collect postal stationery. I'm not throwing it in the trash. Not a hair on my head (and there are still quite a few on it) that thinks about looking through postcards to expand my collection. They are items that belong to the main part of the stamp category (main = in that form valid for sale at the counters - physical or digital - of the Post Office. Officially issued by the official postal service of the country concerned.)
Any offer outside the LD Stamp section will be lost, and is only a pity for the time and energy that was put into it (by providers). This offer also increases the subscription (which is calculated on the total value of the offer). Still something to think about?

Before responding, you should first ask yourself the question: how many postal stationery items am I looking for (to buy) and do I use the postcards section for this? I did (see above).
Pure Paternalistic wisdom, I think, will not help us much (as we have seen with the interim definition of FDC that was forced to be changed after a year).

Envelope, postmark, or something else?
Converted to postmark, originally entered as Envelope. (And there is more wrong with that item.....)

Such items are less clear if the adder himself does not state why he - as a collector - wants to see that item in the catalog on LD.

You can collect such an item in a collection 'Envelopes'. It does not matter what is or is not additionally affixed to it (seals, postmarks, signatures, addresses). It concerns the envelope with the basic printing (Holland Michigan ...).
Later the image can always be replaced by a better one (with less disturbing additions).

Or you can collect such an item in a collection 'Postmarks'. Then it does not matter which envelope, or which stamps, were (additionally) used. The cancellation in itself is the collector's item.
Later, such an image can be replaced by a copy where the stamp is more legible (even if it is on a different envelope and has different stamps on it). After all, the collector's item is the postmark.

Furthermore, it is a postal item (circulated letter), not to be confused with Postal Stationery, of course.
There are collectors of postal items who check the origin and purpose of such an item (of the various components on the item).
Postal items are composite items that are in principle not created in circulation ... You don't want to see them popping up on LD. Every letter ever sent anywhere in the world is a postal item...
There are other sites for postal items (not catalog based).
LD recently also offers the option (generic offers), but there is still some work to make those offers functionally useful (searching and filtering).

Consequence: the same image can appear UP TO 2 times (or more) on LD (with different items). The above example once as a collector's item 'Envelope', and once as a collector's item 'Postmark'.

Recently there was such a finding in the stamp section. It dealt with 'Combinations from booklets', with and without fluo. There also MAY be the same image with multiple items. Which CAR also eagerly did (more than 10 years ago).

Could I conclude from this that a postal stationery, where the back happens to contain a print, may also be present 2 times on LD? Once as a postcard and once as a postal stationery?
It would solve a number of problems, and remove question marks.

The answer is still no, 1x in ld, but true.

You say postal collectors don't look at postcards. Would postcard collectors (double word value) do that?

The classic tennis match in ld....

Raoul62 I don't think Rene agrees with
the same image can occur UP TO 2 times (or more) on LD (with different items). The above example once as a collector's item 'Envelope', and once as a collector's item 'Postmark'.
The example you quote
'Combinations from booklets', with and without fluo
you use out of context. The combinations are two different items. On a normal scan (=image) you cannot see the difference. You can only make this clear in the descriptive fields. In that case it is not very useful to record two different scans.
What is useful is to add a second image under UV light, but technically this is not always possible.

In my opinion, there should be a separate category under Postal Stationery in the new set-up. You then link this category to the postcards section. The problem is that the translations must make a clear distinction.

I wouldn't do it myself. Then you can include almost any postal item as an occasional envelope, as soon as it is stamped with an additional statement ... Or without statements (on the occasion of sending the letter on the date of postmarking ...). An (additional) stamp is regularly placed on a postal item to promote one or the other. In those cases, it's about the stamp, right?
Otherwise, many occasional envelopes will end up in the stamp section, such as #2624131 #2642507 #2624135

Imho there must be a certain similarity between the various components (cover, decoration of the cover, mention on the cover, stamp and seal(s)). Including theme decoration and date stamping in function of the additional promotional imprints on the envelope.

I understand here ( #5421220 ) nothing at all.
I imagine the city of Holland in Michigan had something to celebrate. I imagine the Michigan post office issued custom envelopes in honor of that centenary. But then there are American stamps on it, right? Then there is a stamp in American, right? Then it will not be sent to the post office in Holland (Michigan) will it? This is simply an envelope cobbled together in the Netherlands with a separate (but special) stamp.
Despite the definition, there is still a lot of uncertainty as to whether something is an occasional envelope or not. According to that definition, occasional envelopes have nothing to do with stamps. What matters is the envelope and, above all, the stamp:
The affixed stamps sometimes do and sometimes do not have to do with the theme of the issue. That is why the subject on the envelope (or card) is leading.

I have no knowledge of stamps, but the city of Holland is literally an old Dutch and still historical phenomenon. I see the same envelope on Ebay but with a different Dutch stamp. And they certainly don't look like cobbled-together envelopes.

Why can't you imagine that precisely because it concerns Holland Michigan, a number of envelopes were sent to acquaintances in the Netherlands to send from the Netherlands with our stamps to Holland Michigan. I don't find that so strange. In such an occasion, two parties are involved.

I can imagine that part. Especially if it concerns an FDC. But that's not the case here. What is? I don't know either, but I'm thinking of a different scenario.
I assume that if you sent such a letter via 'Centennial special', there would be a nice stamp on the letter. The letters have no address, no PO box or something like that. In the scenario you suggested, then you return to the address of those acquaintances and not to the post office, don't you? It also says Retour a l'expediteur. And maybe Printed in Holland (Netherlands?) also points to something. So I would say that you could get the envelopes in the Netherlands, send them to Holland Michigan and get them back with a nice stamp. But no matter how you twist or turn it. In my eyes it has nothing to do with a casual envelope, just like the examples cited by Raoul62. I don't think about an occasional envelope until they are sent from Holland, Michigan to the Netherlands. And what I hope above all is that these kinds of items will soon be moved to a category of postmarks or, if necessary, envelopes, so that we no longer have to worry about it with stamps.

If you had looked closely you would have seen that this is already in other under now postmark, but originally entered under envelope. It was as an example that items can be listed under multiple headings in the catalog. But also very quickly renovated, and if you're unlucky moved, and then removed with double bad luck under a delete item.
