Specialized Collection of First Day Covers, 1968 to 2005, with over 1,500 mostly different covers. The collector strived to purchase only different covers, either for postmarks, cachets, frankings, etc. We note a mix of ordinary, official and sponsored types of covers, and a quick check in the First Day Cover catalogue reveals that there is a very high total catalogue value here. Unchecked by us for varieties or better postmarks and very likely to contain many. A rare opportunity to purchase such a large variety of covers, and a great basis for continuation, as there are probably few missing in the period. Also includes six numbered FDC, each with a £2 coin inserted in the cover (1994 to 1996). Very fine.

Est $ 1,000
