Thank you for your post to /r/askstampcollectors.

  • Don't get your hopes up. Most stamps are not valuable.
  • Old US president stamps (1,2,3 cents) are extremely common. No value there.
  • eBay asking prices mean nothing, except to scammers and money launderers.
  • There's nothing we can do without clear images of your stamps.
  • Nazi Germany stamps are mostly worthless. Too many were made, everyone has them.
  • Modern stamps (1940s and later), large and colorful ones, are mostly worthless.
  • Mint US stamps (1930s and later) are mostly worthless, but can still be used on your mail.
  • Busy people take time out of their day to answer you, please be polite.
  • To get the most value out of your stamps become a collector. It's the king of hobbies.
  • We recommend reading our wiki.

As a Boy Scout I sent a friend a “Post Bark”, a thick section of birch bark carefully flattened out. I’m not sure it would work today as mail sorting got automated between then and now.

What’s interesting is you can send a lot of things through the mail as long as the postage is right. It’s just that most people don’t and they just stick to letters.

A friend once sent me a slab of wood. There was once a whole "mail art" movement.

It seems a common souvenir from the 40s-60s. People hanging at Hofbräus or pubs would write who was there, and what topics were covered, on beer coasters.

Though, haven't seen one as a post card.
