Are These US Postage Pin Backs Philately Related Enough For This Forum?

I know these are not stamps. There was a time I had so many stamps I saw my dog walking around the house with an 1898 "Farming in The West" stamp stuck to her fur. I sold most all of them decades ago.

My wife just pulled these out of a drawer. They come in white boxes.

One is South Carolina and the Other Love Stamps.
I include a loose lable from the back of one of these frames.
My guess is they aren't worth maybe 3 or 5 bucks a pin. Maybe the Love set is better.

I'm a long time lurker here, an active member of CCF.
I hope these are OK to post here. Thank you!

The USPS had licensed a lot of companies to make these type products. I doubt there are many buyers for them.

Thank you, I have found similar things on ebay. My guesstimate was correct.

There are lot more of these "for sale" than have sold, suggesting the market is very thin at the buy-it-now prices currently running, with shipping costs doubling the actual final cost - or more.

Many stamp collectors would consider these to be contrived mass-produced souvenirs like Franklin Mint products or Avon bottles and shy away from them. I suspect the market for most of these is a gift or to non-collectors interested in a particular theme rather than the stamp replica.

On ebay, always check SOLD listings to get an idea on the sold prices since unsold listings do not always reflect the actual price.
