Lot Description

498//C46

U.S., 1918-60 Block Collection (Scott 498//C46). Fabulous old-time block of four collection on homemade pages; collections like this are just too expensive to form anymore; begins with Washington-Franklins #498-518 (no #500 or 505), plus 524 block and a 547 centerline block; 1922 flats are complete #551-573; 1929 Kansas-Nebraska's are complete #658-679; then the collection is complete on all the inexpensive commemoratives up to about 1960; the Back-of-the-Book includes #C2-C6 blocks and a C1 in an L-shaped block of three; a boatload of value in the early stamps makes this a desirable group for any dealer looking to buy an unpicked old-time collection with loads of potential.

The Independent Postal System of America (IPSA) was founded in 1968 by Thomas M. Murphy. It was in operation delivering parcel and bulk mailings in Oklahoma, quickly expanding to 2nd, 3rd & 4th class mailings - catalogs, price lists, small boxes, etc. - but not 1st class mail. On November 30, 1971, the IPSA issued a set of stamp-like adhesives (including one with a value of 5 cents for Christmas cards) for usage on 2nd, 3rd & 4th class mailing with first day covers and cancels similar to USPS designs. The USPS and the U.S. Letter Carriers Union sought and quickly won a legal injunction, for attempting to deliver 1st class mail. A federal court judge ruled that the delivery of Christmas cards, even at the discounted rate of 5¢, constituted a 1st class mail operation. The USPS pushed to have the non-USPS delivery of 2nd, 3rd & 4th class mail declared illegal. A long series on legal battles commenced with a peak 1974 U. S Court ruling that IPSA could continue to deliver non-1st class mail. This was a banner decision for the later-to-be UPS, FedEx & other bulk delivery companies, but only one of many legal trips to court for the IPSA. As a final push to keep the company afloat, IPSA issued this protest set to send 0¢ letters to your local Senator, but litigation forced the shrinkage and closure of IPSA, who ended services in the late 1970s.
