Does anyone know if there is reference book with all the various overprints listing on playing card tax stamps with values ?? I have a ton that I'd like to identify. Thanks Mike
There is an unpublished listing that was done in the 1950's, so not complete. There are no prices. The Bureau Print precancels are in the precancel society catalog and those are priced. *** Private information removed by Staff. Please do not post your address/email/phone number etc. ***
Ron is probably referring to The Precancellations of the Playing Card Companies of the United States 1894 - 1956, by Clarence Henry Chappell, printed in 1956. It is apparently a rare book.
There is also a 32 page list by Andrew Cooper, which was printed in 1992, which is similar to Chappell's book.
I'm using both as references for something that I'm working on.
The ones printed at the BEP are listed in the PSS Bureau precancel catalog. Many are scarce. The locally printed ones are not widely sought and not usually costly.
