I agree. Those tax stamps were collected just like postage stamps, so there is no shortage of them at all. I have a box of thousands of different stamp types, and many of the T206 period stamps, had overprints that included the actual date and the factory number. So you could tell with many of the stamps, what card types were in the pack that the stamp was once attached to.
