A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent). 03 Jan 2014 02:17:07pm | How do you figure out what the "cv" for a maxi card or FDC would be? I'd assume it would be more than just the stamp(s) itself. What about Colorado Silk Cachet?
I could really use any advice on this so that I can get some things put together.
Thanks in advance.

For US FDC, I use Mellone's "US First Day Cover Catalogue and Checklist" that lists items by Scott stamp catalogue number. It also has a section that describes valuation increases for certain cachets. Generally, most unused modern US FDC are about $1 to $2 in this catalogue. There are columns too for blocks, plate blocks, and ceremony programs. Partially illustrated.
In Mellone, Colorano Silk Cachets are 1971-1973 15x to 20x, 1974-1976 4x to 5x, and 1977 to present 3x to 4x the listed catalogue value.
For GB FDC, I use The Booth Catalogue "Collect GB First Day Covers" that does NOT list by Gibbons catalogue number, but their own. Includes Queen Victoria to contemporary listings, with a value for a standard first day of issue cancel, and valuations for other special cancels.
Both are great resources and I recommend them, although both are a bit dated now (2007 for both).
I believe Maxi cards may be listed in some Gibbons catalogues; they are in the Stoneham Catalogue of GB stamps. I highly recommend this for GB issues in general, as it is very comprehensive; they include PHQ cards, souvenir books, FDC, etc. in their listings.
If you only have a handful to look up, I'll be happy to help you out if you email me the Scott number for the stamp.

The best way to price maxicards/maximum cards/maxi cards is to ask experienced sellers and collectors of maxicards.
By simply listing them in the marketplace you might not get an accurate idea, since anything can happen, as a random event, either by underbidding or overbidding.
You might get an exception, either way.
