Received over 100 of these unused cards 10-15 years ago from my grandmother but I'm not sure if what I have is UX112 (.45 cents per card in Unitrade) or UX112a ($5 per card - rouletted)..not sure what "rouletted" means?? obviously a big difference in value.
Much appreciated

Yours does not appear rouletted. Rouletting is basically putting a perforated edge on the card so it could easily be torn apart (commonly used in a reply card).

To my understanding, these were issued on sheets. On sheets,they were cut or rouletted to facilitate the seperation

Thanks folks...not perforated so probably just the UX112 version.
Not sure if what I have was originally cut from a sheet ..anyways would have been nice at the $5 per card value and over 100 cards.
Thx

One of those interesting items that are worth more used than not. If you have over 100 of these you might consider adding the extra postage and mailing a couple to yourself.

Most catalogs agree that the increased value of a used postal card is based on contemporaneous use, that is the card would have to be mailed within a few months to a year or so after its date of issue. While you are certainly free to add the postage and mail yourself one of these cards, the postmark provided with a current date is not likely to increase the value any because it would be considered "philatelic use" since it was not mailed at the time the cards were commonly available.
