Code: 30300071
Price: $6.00

Manatees
This 4.5″ x 6.5″ card was mailed in 1997 with two stamps, a yellow USPS air mail sticker, USPS barcoding, a semi-distinct postmark, and some abrasions around the front edges. But how appealing (and how endangered) are those manatees. Grade: 3

Code: 30300098
Price: $2.50
