Are those real, but used, Eisenhower stamps, or fake ones?

  They'd be real, but used stamps. I can't imagine anyone cheap enough to bother faking 8 cent stamps -- although apparently there are people cheap enough to use cancelled ones! =P Kidding aside, I think it'd be awesome to get cards like that -- and maybe the USPS thinks so too, which is maybe why they're letting them through. =)

Also, you know, Christmas... :]
