It's supposedly illegal to re-use unfranked stamps but I'm pretty positive everyone does it anyway ;) would be a waste to bin them.

Yes, you can.

It is technically illegal, so whether you should, is another debate entirely.

Its not "supposedly" illegal.

Its not "apparently" illegal.

Its not "technically" illegal.

It IS illegal.

You can't dress it up. Its illegal, its against the law, its a federal offence. Fact.

It seems a matter of honesty to me. I recieve quite a few stamps that have not been cancelled or franked (not bobed, steved or eded either). The post office does not need my money that bad, but my personal integrity should cost more than 44 cents.
I have been asked many times about trading / selling some of my autographs. I am sorry but my collection is not and will not be for sale.
