Got These All For 1 US Dollar..

OK, I bought these for a dollar. they are in a frame now but will be in glassines asap but I was wondering if it was a good deal or not? Any info on them would be really cool too! Thanks a bunch!
I apologize if the images are too large. if too much I can just privde the links upon request.
I should also menttion that the debris you see is on the glass..lol

Using the 2011 Scott's Specialized and VERY dependent on stamp condition etc.;

The 1st is RF27 or RF28 or RR29, depending watermark, printing and perf. I suspect its an R27 or R28 value = $.25 or $.80

The 2nd I suspect is a Ration Stamp, don't know anything else about it.

The 3rd is E20 with a value of $2.00
The 4th is a NY State Revenue with a value of $0.25
The 5th is a RB23 with a value of $0.25
The 6th is a RB21 with a value of $0.25

Again these values are very dependent on stamp condition. In the final analysis, it only really matters as to what you think they are worth. If you only have these copies then I suggest that the value is far more than the catalog value. For a buck, you can't go wrong.

Nice selection of back of the book material.

Your first scan (1 Pack Playing Cards) is probably an RF27 (perf. 10) issued in 1940. Minimum catalog value, though. (There were other varieties (perf. 11 and perf. 10.5 x 11) which command higher prices, but are much scarcer.)

Your second scan is quite interesting as it relates to the Federal Fuel Administration enacted during World War I. Here's a Wiki link to its history:

These stamps are not listed in the standard Scott catalog, however, still an interesting example dating to back to the early 20th century. I did find this quote from an old April 12, 1919 edition of Meekel's Weekly Stamp News that mentioned the stamp as follows:




Your Third scan is a US Special Delivery Stamp Scott #E19 (perf. 11 x 10.5). Value is minimum catalog.

Your Fourth scan is a NY State Revenue stamp. Again, this is not listed in Scott catalog but there are special reference catalogs available for many of these. Unfortunately, they can be quite expensive. I have many examples of the type shown and don't believe they command anything more than minimal catalog value and since they were issued by many different states, it's really getting into a specialty that not all collectors may have interest in.

The final scans are from a series of Proprietary Stamps issued in 1898. You show the 5/8 cent (RB23) and 1/4 cent (RB21) varieties. In used condition, both show minimum catalog value.

Nothing too valuable, but still a nice assortment to begin a collection.

The New York stock transfer stamp was issued in 1932-1939, catalog number SR134 in the SRS State Revenue Stamps Catalog, 2008, minimum value.

sweet! Thank you very much. I have a huge stamp collection but very few back of book varieties so that's why I snapped it up. The only catalog I have is from 2000 Postal Service Guide to US Stamps/ 27Th edition. So I need an updated one I guess. Again, Thank you.

Good score
