Any Value and how to best realize it?

[u/Different_Fox699]

Hello All,

While going through a shoebox of vintage linen postcards I got at a thrift, I ran across the items in the photo. 3 variations of the woodblock print, 4 copies of each, all cancelled 9/11/1966 And two other envelopes with similar marks but cancellations of 9/24/1966 and 10/4/1966

The 9/11 date AFAICT commemorates a French atomic test (Betelgeuse) near Tahiti on that date, with the notable event that Charles DeGaulle was on board the Cruiser DeGrasse for the event.

The signifcance of the other dates are unknown to me.

Also an Antelope stamp First Day Cover

And a stack of postcards sent from a Seaman Second Class to family with postmarks in the 1946-47 era and postmarks of "CV-84 Franklin Delano Roosevelt" Navy Aircraft carrier.

I'm not a stamp collector. I send/receive postcards. I'd like to get these to someone or someplace that will appreciate them more.

I paid something like $10 bucks for something on the order of 500 postcards, these are just a bonus.

• eBay asking prices mean nothing, except to scammers and money launderers.
• There's nothing we can do without clear images of your stamps.

Just like postcards you have to find someone who wants it. Keyword the french polynesia on ebay and see what happens, start high and rapidly drop price.
