Good luck with the ebay listing. Alot will depend on your feedback and if you generally sell stamps. I have tried selling a few high end stamps but because I don't normally sell alot of stamps on ebay buyers shy away. Keep posting away in here and once you hit the 50 mark we have 2 of the best revenue collectors availiable to help. Without having alot of knowledge on revs I would almost suggest the couple rare ones hit an actual auction where they could generate far more than expected.
Still curious what else you have and maybe close ups of the narcotics and cigars . Love seeing the good stuff when the chance arrises.

Thanks for the info. I didn't really want to sell it but our dog is in the vet with pancreatitis and we can't afford the bill. Hoping this will sell and help with it. I've never done any auctions other than on ebay. Really don't know how it works.

What were those "Beer stamps" used for? Tax on alcohol?

Correct. They are a form of "revenue" stamps with catalog listings beginning with REA:


Quote:
REA's are beer stamps. The stamps were used at the distribution level rather than at the consumer level for the most part. In 1916 the terminology "fermented liquor" was introduced, and in 1933 the term was "fermented malt liquor,"
