image Extensive Collection of First Day Covers from 1952 to 2011, consisting of approximately 1,200 covers. The collection appears almost complete for the period (missing covers between 1987 and 1991), with no duplication and a great mix of definitive and commemorative issues. We noted plate blocks, se tenant, souvenir sheets, and some special event covers. Approximately 180 covers were issued before 1971, with cachets from companies such as Capital, Cachet Craft, Cole, H&E, Rose Craft and other unidentified ones that we don't recall seeing before. A very clean collection that would not require much investment to reach completion. See scans for a glimpse of the content. (Image)
