Postage Due stamps?

When I was a kid (1970s), the post office staff would sometimes have the old postage due stamps (issued in 1959, I believe). As a child collector, they would begrudgingly sell some to me for the price indicated that was due. As these were being phased out already at that time, so I found them tough to get.
I presume these are basically useless except possibly to a collector at this point?

I have some of those myself.
As I recall, when they finally stopped using them you could order a full set from the USPS website.
And, no, there is no actual postal use for them now.
I have some of those too. I suppose they're not worth a plugged nickel.
I've been using most of the family collection for postage due to lack of value.
It was an easy set to put together in it's day. I remember stacking four cents and leaving it on the envelope. The mail guy would just put a stamp on it. I did receive a postage due from an ebay item...not a stamp but I had to pay the postman the fee owed. Take care...
