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 batch of 14, one cent, red, McKinley US Postal Cards. 13 are cancelled (mostly flags), 1 is uncancelled. Please see individual descriptions below. You can buy one card or all 14, but you can e-mail me and specify which cards you want. The numbers also correspond to the photographs. Each set of photos shows a close-up of the stamp, the cancellation, the stamp/cancellation and postmark, the entire front of the card and then the back of the card.
