I have gone crazy on EBay lately. I have purchased many stamp lots. One was a lot of World Fair Stamps 1939. They were stuck together from being in an envelope for many years. I saw this as a challenge. I received them yesterday in the mail and to my dismay found out that they are not postage stamps. They seem to be memorabilia stamps. There were over 20 of them. I still soaked them and painstakingly separated them. I have been researching for a day now and found nothing. Value, origination, number in a series.....nothing. Does anybody have any info on these stamps?

I will post the pictures shortly.

Thanks

I wouldn't despair just yet. They certainly look as if they would be collectible to someone.

I searched eBay and found this right near the top with minutes to go. There could be more.

I don't know anything about them, but I did a google and found the following couple of non-ebay links:

and this one has a lot of info. You have to scroll to the bottom of the page:

Hi Cynthia

I've been going a little ebay crazy myself and have received a few surprise along the way. Even though they are not real stamps I would think they would have some historical value.

I'll help you research them and see if I can find anything out
