Own This Pre-Canceled Playing Card Revenue Stamp- At a Fraction of the Scott Catalogue Value
This Playing Cards Revenue stamp was issued in 1940 to be used buy the Consolidated Dougherty Company (C.P.C.). Now you can own it for far below the Scott's Catalogue value.
Playing Card Revenue Stamps
Stamps have been used on playing cards since the first general issue of 1862-71. For the first 45 years, stamps were issued with the standard denominations (1¢, 2¢, etc.). Beginning in 1940, playing card stamps were issued per pack. Instead of a denomination, the stamps were for one pack. This change meant the tax rates could change without having to reprint or surcharge the stamps.
One tax stamp required for each 54 cards in a deck. The initial tax rate when the stamps were first issued in 1940 was 11¢ per pack. That rate increased to 13c¢ the following year and remained the same until the playing card tax was ended in 1965.
Consolidated Dougherty Card Co.
Andrew Dougherty was one of the first to produce playing cards in America. His cards included the Tally-Ho brand. In 1930, Dougherty's company merged with the New York Consolidated Card Co., and the new company was Consolidated Dougherty Card Co. Inc. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing applied a precancel to the One Deck cards specifically for use by this company.
Now you can save on this Playing Card stamps that few collectors are aware of. It could be the start to a new collection or a neat addition to your growing Revenue stamp collection. Order yours today.
