Table of Contents DESCRIPTION:
In 1934 an annual stamp was issued for purchase by all waterfowl hunters, designed to generate funds to pay for acquiring and preserving waterfowl sanctuaries. Over 600,000 hunters purchased the first stamps in 1934; now, more than 1.5 million stamps are sold each year to both hunters and stamp collectors. A complete set is worth well over $5,000 to todays collectors. This handy reference and value guide can aid collectors in obtaining and maintaining their collections. As with any stamp issue, there are grades and conditions which directly affect the value. This guide gives values for each condition, facts about each stamp issued, and information regarding care and storage. A detailed history of the development of the stamp is provided along with color photographs of every duck stamp made to date. PUBLISHER'S REVIEW
