I would like to know where you get the pictures of the stamps you process and have up for sale. Is it scans from an actual collection or do you tale it from the web somewhere. From the pictures on the website it seems that the stamps are unused.

Both, scanned and used from the internet. The archive where we get the stamps and information about them also scanning real stamps, they scan high quality and not used stamps. To be clear, we are not just copy paste, we create an animation, that is sort of uniqality. Each animated stamp uploaded manually one by one. To complete 25k of stamps it took us 6 months.

Another question, are stamps considered public domain or are stamps copyright to someone like a government? Are there any laws prohibiting the copying of stamps that require credit to be given? I just want to know if there are any legalities involved. My first gut feel was that stamps are like country flags, but I could be wrong.

For sure, stamps created by countries authorities and have copyrights. But as soon as you have physical stamps, you can do what you want with them. Collectors usually hold or resell them. An addition, we have created an animation from each stamp, so it is not completely the same as the stamp itself. It will take a few years to process all the stamps.

Talking about the copyright, though, I wonder what law applies for selling those stamps as NFT, and whether this law applies equally on every country or there are several countries who didn't apply this law. I mean, what you do is basically "buy" an government issued "document" and "legit payment method" (stamp is what we pay to use postal service), digitalize them and re-sell them. Copyright-wise, is this counts as a fraudulent activity by creating fake "money"? Have you looked upon this issue and is there a supporting evidence that the action is not crossing any govts. law?
