Does anyone know stamps - Ben Franklin One Cent

[silverdollarbill]

Hope everyone has been doing well. I've been cleaning up / getting rid of stuff and found this leather postcard. I was going throw it away but decide to look up the stamp.

Here are some pics:




I know stamps are a particular hobby and these are not sold listings, but here are examples of it listed for hundred and thousands of dollars.

But then here are two sold listing for $50 and $60.

I'd be happy with $50, but anyone know what the price difference is so large?

Hey Mackaydon....thanks for the link. Seems like a good resource. However, that is not the stamp I have. Mine is a variation that is not on that site (or at least not that I can find).

Mine does not have these things in the corner. Maybe it is a little rare. The two I shared that sold for $50/60 looks to be what I have.

You're right; I was to anxious to respond. This is better:

There are also 9 varieties of this stamp; I'll see if any apply to yours.
My guess is the card with the stamp will be worth more than the stamp alone.

Thanks for the all the info Don! "I don't have to work, I can starve"....what a strange post card to send to someone. I guess this was turn of the century humor.
