<< let me clear one thing up... the stamps are clean and do not have anything stamped over top of them. (IE, if I put 4 brand new stamps on a blank envelop, thats what the stamps look like)
I cut the stamps off the old envelope and have a little square of 4 clean stamps that I want to tape to my new envelope >>
instead of tapeing them on, put them in a bowl of hot water, and theyll come of the paper, then use a hair dryer to dry em and then use a glue stick to stick em on so they look legit atleast.
