[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 8373, member: 40"]Actually it should be ENCASED postage stamps. My bad. It seems Ayers took great advantage of this type advertising. I've never had an encased postage stamp from any company. They start, for even the most common at several hundred dollars in nice condition. Many Companies used them for the short time during the Civil War that they were popular. This link explains them far better than I could here.
