Item Description

I apologize to all philatelists out there. My dad is 85 years young and I am trying to help him "downsize" some of his stuff. Stamps appear to be "some of his stuff". What I know about stamps would probably fit on the stamp itself, but I am trying to look things up as I go. Please, if you see something incorrect regarding my listing, let me know so that I can learn (and also correct the listing).

Feel free to make an offer on anything you see listed. Thanks for looking.

This is a group of 6 US Postal Cards. One Cent denomination. Round, black, Jefferson stamp imprints on right side of card. Name is larger and in a squared off rectangle below the image. The laurels on either side of the circle go almost to the top. The cards measure 3-1/4" x 5-1/2". See below for individual descriptions of each card:
