<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 3618954, member: 58588"]The best easy way to price covers is the same as the best easy way to price coins: go on eBay and check out the sold prices. Most collectors use the Brookman stamp catalog. The prices listed are almost always way high [$2 seems to be their current default price for common covers; actual resale value of most of them is a few cents at best.] Medium price stuff - $5 to $20 or so - figure you may get 10 to 20 percent of catalog price. Stuff before 1920 can be really expensive - thousands of dollars. You can get an old Brookman on eBay fairly cheap. You don't need to spring for the latest one; prices don't change that much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
