This morning I made a stop at an antique store to have a look around and I came across a basket of new and used postage stamps. Most had been postmarked and cancelled, but I found a bunch that hadn't been used or cancelled that I could use on my postcards and letters. I ended up paying $20 total for all of the ones pictured. Below are close ups of the stamps I purchased today.
