I got a us postal card the other day and I was wondering how much it might be worth. The detail is that in the right hand upper corner, in red ink... the 'crest' is a picture of Mckinley...above his head reads 'US Postal Card'...there is a bold '1' (alpha) on each side...and says 'ONE CENT' below...and below that reads McKinley.
Just one inch to the left it reads in red ink "This side of card is for address only" in the same red ink.
