Hello,
I have five postcards from 1905 through 1905 with Ben Franklin stamps. I wish to find out how much these could be worth.
Thank you,
Joe Campbell

1905 would probably make it a Scott #300. Value would be in the postcard, not the stamp. There are probably billions of postcards with that stamp floating around since it really was one of the only ways to communicate back then. |

I have included a few pictures of the Ben Franklin stamps to go along with my original post. It took me a little while to figure out how to resize the pictures for posting. |

Welcome.
stallzer's post was right on, this stamp was a workhorse of the era and billions were printed.

Value, if any, would be in the postcards themselves as those stamps are very common. Try posting images of the entire cards (front and back) over in the postcard thread. Keep in mind, just like with stamps, condition plays a major role in value. |

Joe, you can find the postcard thread by using the "search" function on this page. You can find it in the upper right corner of this
page. It is just to the left and below the spot where you logged in
