Stamp 'cancellations'
This issue goes from the sublime, to the ridiculous. I get envelopes from vendors who have papered them with older, mint stamps. Having travelled from the other side of the world, there is not ONE post office cancellation. Today, I received two such envelopes from within Canada, and some a-hole has scribbled across them with marker.
Q1. How do I classify un-cancelled stamps?
Q2. Is there any way to remove the children's marker from the stamps' surface?

Thanks also to Michael.
Most of the clerks at the Grocery Store PO's don't even remember or know to cancel them, they just take a $30 postage stamp parcel throw it on the counter behind them. It is great if you get them uncancelled.
I use 157 different envelopes to mail stamps, covers and cards. All have a different cachet about 4 inches wide on them of older Telegraph covers back to the 1850's. Whenever I get a different one. See image.
For some reason when I click on UPLOAD AN IMAGE nothing happens.
