10pf Deutsches Reich On Postcard

I can't seem to find much info on this stamp. It has a Berlin Cancel, 15 Sep 1908.

Any recommended sites or feedback is appreciated.

It is just a regular German stamp - where are you looking? Try www.stampworld.com

They're referred to as the Germania issue, and there is a lot to study in them, as they were issued for a couple decades (more or less).

The first stamps had "REICHSPOST" in the bottom tablet. This switched to the design you have, for most of the run.

You can spend a long, long time learning about the Germania stamps.

One of the notable things here is that in 1909 it cost only 10 pfennigs to mail a postcard, even to an overseas destination (San Antonio, Texas), but just 14 years later, the worst hyperinflation to hit anywhere in the world up until that point caused postal rates to soar to tens of millions, hundreds of millions, even billions of marks, and while it had minimal effect on the Germania issues (the August 1921 overprints, Scott 133-136 may have been the very earliest hint of the inflation to come), it went into high gear with the next few issues of definitives issued subsequently.

At the top right, there is a flag of imperial Germany followed by the words 'Postage Stamps.' If you click on it, you will find a list that includes quite some 'Germania' listings. Click on those listings for more details.

Then you haven't tried very hard, frankly. That is perhaps the iconic design among pre-WWII German stamps.

Thanks to all for the info and web references. Very good info!
