Should Easter Seals and Christmas Seals be mentioned here?

[edit] So what is it?

The article didn't really help me understand what "cinderella stamps" are. What is the difference between these and postage stamps??? --Cotoco 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Good point, try it now. Stan 01:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that helps.

Now, do you know why they are called "Cinderella"? --Cotoco 17:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

None of my sources gives an explanation. OED mentions use of "cinderella" as a generic term that for things that are looked down upon but are attractive after all, after Cinderella, so probably somebody in the philatelic press used the term offhandedly one time and it stuck.
