<p>[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1049349, member: 24274"]The pieces shown here were picked up in mail auctions, stamp and paper money shows, and sometimes through dealers. It's a very narrow niche market and I know of only one dealer, Eric Jackson, who specializes in it. Other types of taxpaids exist, taxing narcotics, oleomargarine and grape brandy. I've even seen a License for Sugar Producer. These are hard to find and fairly expensive. However, the Special Tax Stamps from 1873 to '85 are fairly common and often show up on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taxpaids are usually about 3"x4-6", ignoring the stub. Special Tax Stamps can measure up to 14.5"x7", if you include coupons and stub. These are the largest U.S. "stamps" ever produced -- a good bit of trivia if you're ever a contestant on Jeopardy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
