What Would These Be Called?

I have 40+ Different ones of these, Are the considered Covers? And are the Stamps originals? There is no documentation except history on the person.

Thanks

These are philatelic souvenir covers, created to sell to collectors. It looks like it does contain a genuine 3c Harlan Fiske Stone commemorative stamp. Many of the 3c commemorative stamps were saved in huge numbers by people who thought they were making a good investment. Today these stamps can be found in lots of scrap postage which sell in bulk for less than face value. So even though the stamp is genuine and in mint condition, it is still worth about face value.

The cancel on the cover lists Harlan Fiske Stone's hometown and is dated on the 126th anniversary of his birth. The cover was mass produced in a warehouse and was certainly not taken to New Hampshire to be canceled in Chesterfield on that date, so the cancel is really meaningless. The 32c flag stamp is an extremely common definitive.

It would be better to find a Harlan Fiske Stone stamp postally used on a cover that went through the mail shortly after the stamp was released. The cover would be more valuable if it had unusual postal markings, was on a registered letter, or a special delivery letter, or on an advertising cover, or was sent to a foreign destination, for example.

Thats sad they could not even give it the legitimate cancellation..yes people subscribe to receive these covers and pay like 3 dollars apiece..how many thousand percent profit is that..i remember my Dad once sent away for 3 covers for me with I think Susan B. Anthony dollars affixed...he spent 27 dollars ! I told him do not ever do that again...people think they are doing something nice and they get ripped off !!

So all 40 of these famous people (1 Cent to 10 Cent Stamps) Are basicly worth the stamps value? These are all from the same company.

Are there any rarer famous people stamps?

Thanks

Unless they are expertly graded, then you might be able to find a sucker to pay $300 for one.

I've seen some of these that used hinged stamps passed off as mint.
