The world of Fantasy Lands is known as the FifthWorld. Most of these lands belong to the I.C.I.S. This is a sort of United Nations of the FifhWorld. It co-ordinates and provides many services for its member lands. It is a Postal Union for the stamp producing authorites and fosters the design and printing of Philatelic items. The ICIS site is well worth going to as a starting off point to all these marvelous lands and their stamps. http://get.to/ICIS

Featured Site. The Shire Post is a great Fantasy Post, presenting a postal History of Tolkiens Middle-earth. There is also available the Official Postal Map of The Shire, and postage rates for the paper-and-ink mail that has an elaborate hobbit theme. Another thing interesting about this Shire site is the Shire coins. And how about this for an address to send to: Will Whitfoot, Postmaster Shire Post Central PO #1 Delving Street Waymoot, West Farthing.

Why is Cinderella Stamp Collecting becoming so popular?

The facts are that the locals, private posts, Fantasy Lands, Bogus Countries and even fraudulent stamps are the fastest growing areas of stamp collecting. Auction houses report high prices and are looking for rare and interesting issues. Collectors the world over are being advised to keep their eyes out for Cinderella stamps.

The term Cinderella was given to these none government issues to degrade their authenticity but collectors always kept these items in the back of their books- the back of book issues as they were called.

But the term has now become synonomous with unique topics and low numbers of issues. In short Cinderellas are poised to become the new collectables.

Their attraction is that they are diverse and not over issued. With the advent of more modern graphic imaging the producers of postage stamps simply churned out endless issues with mostly poor topics and graphics. Collectors have turned to stamps that they can collect at reasonable prices and attain the entire issues.

Collectors the world over now see that there are many other stamps they can collect. Stamp issues before this are now hotly desirable.
