image Group of 120 Canada Post Annual Collections of First Day Covers, consisting of cardboard packages issued in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with one example of each of the FDCs issued in that year (or six-month period) and for some years, the inclusion of a card showing all of the FDC cancellations in that set. Included here are 1997 (x1), 1998 (Jan.-June x8), 1999 (x5), 2000 (x35), 2001 (x15), 2002 (x38) and 2003 (x18) with a total retail value of $7,948. A few of the years included bonus covers for joint issues and some indicate that one or more FDCs had sold out prior to the on-sale date of these collections, making them the only original source for those FDCs. In subsequent years, these annual collections became wooden-boxed offerings. We have seen a couple of these packages in consignments over the years, but not in this breadth of years and quantities. Here's your chance to check for varieties and covers issued in lower quantities. On our inventory sheet, we noted the original retail price shown on the packages, which appears to be the face value of the stamps on the covers. Online photos show an overview of this group. There is some wear-and-tear on some packages and we saw several were opened, likely from rough handling rather than being checked and pilfered. Still, we cannot vouch for the complete contents of opened items. This is a great opportunity for the online reseller, or for collectors who may not have seen this method of FDC marketing before. Much to enjoy here! (Image)
