adam31415926, Greetings:
Even in the Good Old Days, covers might pass thru the mail without being postmarked & cancelled.
Or, if you prefer, perhaps someone began preparing a DIY philatelic cover, realized that yet another stamp would have fit the theme, put this cover aside, and never got a round tuit.
Lastly, Americans outside of the country (ex-pats, soldiers, tourists) would often give someone a letter (addressed to a third party) to be posted upon that person's arrival in The States; but plans change, so perhaps the letter was handed to the addressee at some social event.
Wise words from an old dealer (not me): "Never ask how they got that way."
Q/ Do you play "31415926" in the lottery?
Cheers,

The stamps add up to the 7 cent airmail rate. Someone prepared an envelope then lost it, or decided they no longer needed to correspond with the addressee.

Has anyone ever seen a cover like this with stamps, but never sent? I am just wondering why something like this would be made?
