[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free image rationale for Comic Strip Classics
Article	Comic Strip Classics
Purpose of use	Used for purposes of illustration in an educational article about the entity represented by the image.
Replaceable?	Protected by copyright, therefore a free use alternative won't exist. There is no possible commercial disadvantage to the copyright holder by using this image of a stamp in a Wikipedia article because the stamp's value is in the physical stamp, not the design.

[edit] Licensing:

This image is of a United States postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is owned by the United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps

to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page.
