This gives a new meaning to "stamping your impression" on something: custom postage stamps with your own picture. Yes, you can actually order First Class postage stamps with your mug-shot or anyone else’s for that matter, directly through Stamps.com.
Gearlog walked through the process, which was easier than mailing a postcard. Simply upload a photo, select the postage amount (39-cents to 52-cents), select a border and wait a few days for your stamps to arrive! You’ll obviously pay a premium for the customization, but sheets of stamps are discounted in quantity, with prices starting around $18 a sheet. I wonder what folks would think about cartoon-head stamps and even more importantly, would they be collectors items to those mobile philatelists?
UPDATE: Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
