Default $3 1995 space shuttle challenger stamp - worth any more than face?

Have above described stamp in mint condition.

See picture at http://www.usps.com/images/stamps/95/prirty95.gif

Has been sitting in desk drawer since priority mail increased in price.

Will this sell for much more than face value?

Haven't seen it for sale on eBay (past or present).

Thx for any market insight.

Greetings Ms. Ridder.
..
A good Scott Catalogue can give you an rough idea, maybe. My 2003 shows
$5.25 unused. Look at #2544. Personally, I would say $3 to $3.25, but . .
.. I don't make a living selling stamps.
..
Is your stamp dated "1995" or "1996"?

If at first you don't succeed, don't go skydiving ... try stamp collecting
instead.

Nor do I sell stamps, but I my experience is that few if any dealers would
purchase a single "common" stamp for anywhere near catalogue value or even
at face value. Dealers by and large buy accumulations and collections, not
single stamps.

" .... Dealers, by and large, buy accumulations and collections, not

..
Which means they are paying pennies on the dollar for such common
stamps.
..
Your best bet is to use it on some piece of mail in combination with
other stamps while it can still haul a package.
