Hello Logistical1,
Since a real expert has not yet offered information, I'll give you my best effort.
The top left envelope is U349, the 2c stamped envelope from the Columbian Exhibition of 1893.
The top right card is UX9 from 1886.
The bottom left card is UX5 from 1875 (unless it is watermarked, making it UX4)
The bottom right card is UX12 of 1894 as best I can see the vignette, but if the name Jefferson is printed in small print below his picture it would become UX14.
My US Scott catalog is hopelessly out of date to offer "value" information, but my guess is all are within the 50c-$2.00 range as used entires (unless you are very luck and have UX4, which would be listed for several hundred dollars).
I hope this is the information you were seeking.
Regards,
Tom

Tom,
Thanks for the information. I need to get a new catalog as well.
I purchased a box of covers and post cards at a farm auction that has turned out to be a lot of fun. The only thing of significant value found so far was a few indian head pennies and an old nickle that dropped out of a envelope.

I found these in a big box of covers I bought today. My catalog is limited and I don't have any information on postal cards or stationary. Any information would be appreciated.
