Going through collection and organizing and need some help with value ideas from the pros. It's a blend of art and science. Found the stamps but covers are a different arena. Your opinions and help will be appreciated.

They are not covers, the first one is a postal card and the next two are postal reply cards. The postal reply cards were mailed out by companies and the recipient would tear off half and return it to sender with usually a yes I'm interested or no I'm not kind of thing.

Both are listed in Scott catalog back of book. I love the response on the one reply card,

"Yes I will attend accompanied by ____________ ladies"

I know the fill in the blank number my Wife would make sure I penciled in

Thanks Stallzer, my bad. I had been looking at covers too and got crosseyed. I thought the return card was hilarious in the face of political correctness and my wife.I ordered a Scotts catalog, I am spending more in gas going to the library. I got volume 1. That can help with the value questions to a point.

As to the last reply card scanned, as addressed to the Concordia, Post St. and Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, here's a link to the website of the Concordia-Argonaut Club today. Note it was founded by Levi Strauss (of Levi's Jeans fame) and fits perfectly in the same grouping of jeans-related clothing manufacturers.

Note also the strict dress code still in effect today, with denim only allowed for Friday lunch! Quite the restriction from a club founded by leaders of the denim jeans industry!
