Notes[]
- The Twiddlebugs hang a postage stamp of George Washington in their house like a picture.
- Jim Henson and Rowlf the Dog participated in the First Day of Issue (FDoI) Ceremony for the USPS 1986 "Love" special stamp. The stamp itself featured a drawing of a puppy. In addition, cartoonist Guy Gilchrist created a cacheted First Day Cover for this stamp.
- Zazzle, in conjunction with Disney, offers a number of Muppets designs for creating licensed, personalized US postage stamps.
- TNT Post Netherlands has printed a number of personalized postage stamps bearing Sesame Street and Muppet images. These stamps appear to have been created on demand for individual customers and are likely not licensed by Sesame Workshop or Disney.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 The Souvenir sheets issued in 2000 by The Cayman Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, and Samoa each contain a large decorative border (selvage) that surrounds the actual stamp. For use in postage, the actual stamp is sometimes removed from the selvage to fit onto an envelope. Thus, for example, to say that Kiribati issued two stamps depicting Elmo would be incorrect, since the stamp on the Kirbati souvenir sheet shows only Grover, while the images of Elmo and Oscar appear in the selvage. In addition, cancellation marks are sometimes accidentally applied only to the selvage of a souvenir sheet; in such cases, the actual postage stamp is considered to be uncancelled.
