{{Short description|Postage stamp created to honor or commemorate a place, event, person, or object}}File:Can Alexander Graham Bell 1947-4c.jpg|thumb|Alexander Graham BellAlexander Graham BellA commemorative stamp is a postage stamp, often issued on a significant date such as an anniversary, to honor or commemorate a place, event, person, or object. The subject of the commemorative stamp is usually spelled out in print, unlike definitive stamps which normally depict the subject along with the denomination and country name only. Many postal services issue several commemorative stamps each year, sometimes holding first day of issue ceremonies at locations connected with the subjects. Commemorative stamps can be used alongside ordinary stamps. Unlike definitive stamps that are often reprinted and sold over a prolonged period of time for general usage, commemorative stamps are usually printed in limited quantities and sold for a much shorter period of time, usually, until supplies run out.WEB,www.linns.com/howto/refresher/classifications_20030414/refreshercourse.aspx, Lines of stamp classifications have blurred, By Rick Miller, Linn’s Stamp News, 2010, 1 October 2010,www.linns.com/howto/refresher/classifications_20030414/refreshercourse.aspx," title="web.archive.org/web/20150504230103www.linns.com/howto/refresher/classifications_20030414/refreshercourse.aspx,">web.archive.org/web/20150504230103www.linns.com/howto/refresher/classifications_20030414/refreshercourse.aspx, 4 May 2015, dead, WEB,alphabetilately.org/commems.html, U.S. Commemorative Stamps, Alphabetilately, 2010, 1 October 2010, - the content below is remote from Wikipedia

Backlash
The appearance of commemorative postage stamps caused a backlash among some stamp collectors in the early years of stamp collecting, who balked at the prospect of laying out ever-larger sums to acquire the stamps of the world. This led to the formation of the Society for the Suppression of Speculative Stamps in 1895 to blacklist these excessive stamps. The organization broke up after unsuccessful attempts at getting collectors at large to comply with their wishes. Today early commemoratives are still prized by collectors.NEWS,www.nytimes.com/1989/08/27/style/stamps.html, STAMPS, By Barth Healey, August 27, 1989, New York Times, 2010, 1 October 2010,See also
