While I don't collect them, those are certainly nice classic duck stamps! I would imagine the on-license copies are hard to come by and would command a premium to most collectors.
I just wonder how long duck stamps are going to be around if the country is eventually going to follow the lead of California, based on this quote:
Quote:
"...those who liked collecting duck stamps won't get a stamp on their new hunting license. The license will have a waterfowl validation on it, but no stamp.
We realize how much the physical stamp is appreciated; therefore, we have continued to produce them," Wilson said. "While you don't need to have them affixed to your license like in the past, DFG will send the physical stamp to you at the end of the season. By law, we can distribute a 'duplicate' stamp only after the 2010-11 season, so look for it sometime after July 1, 2011."
Here's the link to where I obtained the above quote:
