Everyone should know that certain pieces of Mail Art  W A Y  predates Ray Johnson, et al.  In fact, Mail Art predates postage stamps.

The piece Jennifer Wallace posted here is actually in line monetarily with other such items in the philatelic field.

The L'Art Tampon book is also available at $135.00, but with only $7.00 shipping (instead of $28) from the same seller that I posted earlier.

On one hand it makes me greedy (I'd love to have the original rubber stamp), on the other hand I don't have the money (and if I had, I'd prefer to spend it on stamps and art supplies (to create and send more mail art), and on the other other hand, 'for sale' items like these ask to be copied by hand and send (for free) to mail art lovers :-)

Thanks for sharing, Bradford! So to see that seller offers more mail art items for sale. And asks (to my opinion) exorbitant high prizes.

For me personally, mixing money and mail art would take all the enjoyment out of it. Mail art to me is a lot of things: communication, a private pleasure, but never a product, never the result of work which should be paid for. It's play, above all. I have purchased pieces of "outsider" art and even zines, when the price is basically just to help with printing and mailing costs, but I would never pay for a mail art "trade" with anything other than mail art!
