I have seen the subject cancel many times.
It is not "rare," tho if the picture is on a specimen sheet/card, it might be a bit scarce.
It has some value on good covers and postcards.
I would put it in the "keepsake" category, but serious collectors might find it interesting. (Danzig is still a fairly popular specialty in Poland, but most of the folks that used to like the stuff are now deceased.)
Decent covers can usually be found on EBAY Germany for a few bucks.
Cards like this generally go for way less than $200. Often less than $100. It is a very nifty example.

The less sophisticated you sound in your message, the
more likely they are to respond.
Don't ask about values.
"Could I please impose on you to tell me a little about the history
