Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Greg, if yours has the tax stamps that show it's from the Mayo card period, that will only enhance it's value. There's little question that a collector would pay more for the one with correct tax stamps over those with none-- and I'm sure a plethora are missing any tax stamps, correct era or not.
