Extensive Collection of First Day Covers, from the late 1930s to 2007, consisting of about one thousand covers, mostly displayed in Vario style stock sheets, housed in 13 volumes. The collection starts with several first day covers from the late 1930s (Royal Visit) including a few Newfoundland issues, then proceeds directly to the early 1990s with a more complete inventory through 2007. We noted singles, plate blocks including many in matching sets, souvenir sheets, many Special Event covers, and postage prepaid cards. Duplication is light and occurs mostly when the owner wanted to display the front and back of the cover. Notwithstanding the quality of the inventory, the lot has high retail value just in the hundreds of gently used stock sheets (two pockets) alone. Online photos show a sampling and overview. Overall very fine. Will appeal to collectors and dealers alike.
