The 2024 Stamp Market Quarterly does not list values for stamps produced later than Scott #1207.

The Precancel Stamp Society Catalog of United States Bureau Precancels, 5th edition, states "Some collectors collect bureau precancels with gum. This is particularly challenging for issues before August 1967. Previously, sale of precancels to collectors was prohibited, and most dealers in bureaus soaked off the gum to avoid the appearance of violating postal regulations. As a result, there can be a large premium for some full gum bureaus, especially for issues prior to 1967"
