I just bought a collection of mostly covers and Postal Cards. Lots of cool stuff in there. What I found was this:

A Post Card with the first Christmas Seal Scott # WX1 on it. The Scott Catalog shows a value of $1,250.00 tied on cover. Is this what I do have?

Plus I have a few other covers or post cards with 1908 to 1919 Christmas Seals on them but the Scott cat. does not show a value for those.

Thanks for any input.

Robert

Yes it is. The others have real value as well, although not quite at this level.

Thanks everyone! Wow I will keep checking as I know I saw 1 or 2 of the same kind as listed in that Linn's link. Now that would be sweet to find one.
Thanks again,
Robert

It's fun (and encouraging) to see someone find a legitimate treasure in a lot or collection. Not everything is picked over! Congratulations!!!
