JOBI Philatelic Services:  Information Sheet

Checklist of US picture postal cards

1989-2006

 

Beginning in 1989, the United States Postal Service has periodically released picture postal cards.  These cards were imprinted with prepaid postage but were sold at a premium above the postage value.  Stamp, address space and message space appear on one side of the card.  The picture fills the opposite side of the card.

 

The following is a check list of these cards, including format information.  Some cards were released only as singles, some only as sheets, and some only in booklets.  Stamp and postal stationery dealers stock these cards by Scott Catalog number or by UPSS Catalog number.

 

This check list inspired by the article “Picture postal cards intended for broad audience”, Fred Bauman, Stamp Collector, July 17, 2000, pg 58

 

This is not a price list.  See appropriate net price list for price/availability.
