How stamp cancellation affect the stamp value The US postal service in the 1880s used to deface the postage stamps by pen marks. By the later part of the century, American and Canadian postmasters were allowed to express their creativity by making their own stamp cancels. Hubert C.

Collectors who are interested in the cancellations themselves prefer bold, readable cancellations. Cancellations also are an integral part of the collection of postal history. Webb, F.W.
