Guys - going to an auction that is advertising these gold "first day" replica stamps. Do these things have any weight whatsoever? Would they have intrinsic value? Or are these just for collectors?

I got curious and did a quick search. If your's are the same ones as I saw, they are cardboard covered in 22kt gold foil. They don't seem to have much collector value either.

My local coin shop was trying to get like $2 each for them. I think they had a hard time with even that much.
