a quick perusal of my Scott Specialized ... Scott #69 with a used value of $95 ... with premiums added for any number of cancels and/or color/gum varieties ... so yeah ~$100 (at least)!! Nice find!!

Thanks for the info Clif (and PM).

As I am not generally collecting USA I might consider trying ebay and see how it goes.
There are also a few others in the album that might have value, but sadly the condition of the stamps is not perfect.

A lot can be learned from reverse images sometimes. Did you use the water marking process, if so what did you observe?
