United States Paid Reply Postal Cards
Scott's #UY16 to #UY41
1956-1995
Variations are generally not listed here when they are such things as unsevered, preprinted, reply card detached, etc. Variations are listed where they include missing colors, double impressions, reversals, etc. For more detailed listing of variations, consult the latest Scott's Specialized Catalogue of U.S. Stamps.
Many of these cards were issued as regular postal cards and also as paid reply postal cards. The only way to tell the difference between them is by the perforations. If there are no perforations, it will generally be a regular postal card (there are a few exceptions, but they do not conflict with the paid reply cards). If there are perforations on one side of the card, it will be half of a paid reply set.
