Collections: United States: First Day Covers  
I am constantly buying large and small collections and often have a variety of U.S. and Worldwide collections, lots, and accumulations available. If you are considering getting into a new area and would like a "starter collection" (whether small or large), let me know about your interest. Also, if you are seeking used binders or used empty albums to match what you currently have, again, let me know. Here are a few samples of collections. The listings below are included by happenstance. If you are seeking a particular country or type of material, please let me know. Payment plans are available. I guarantee your satisfaction.

Due to the low prices, variations in weight, and different mailing methods, distances, and destinations, shipping cost is additional for items in the Specials Collections listings unless otherwise mentioned. When ordering please include a note in the shopping cart comments section indicating if you prefer faster/costlier or slower/cheaper delivery so that I may more quickly quote the shipping costs and options for you.

Collections and lots are not normally sent on approval. If you have questions about an item, please inquire before ordering. Special return and refund limitations typically apply to such items. Please see the "Order Info" page for details.

Each item is one of a kind; orders will be filled in order of receipt. Payment by MasterCard or Visa suggested, but I will hold items for 10 days pending receipt of check if you prefer.

2216a-i-2219a-i [1986 U.S. Presidents (Ameripex)] First Day Covers with "HF" Cachets: The complete set of 36 FDCs of the 1986 Presidential Issue (Scott 2216a-2219i) on "HF" (House of Farnum) engraved multi-colored cacheted UNaddressed FDCs. HF cachets are not so often seen, which is a shame, and have a strong following. A major FDC dealer lists this less-common set at a "regular" price of $75 and currently on special at $45. With 36 covers in the set, all in perfect condition, this should be worth much more than my low price.

Scott #2286-2335 1987 North American Wildlife First Day Covers: Artcraft/PCS Cacheted Complete Set: Scott #2286-2335 [1987 22c North American Wildlife] Complete set of 50 Artcraft (made for PCS) engraved cacheted first day covers. The cachet designs are wonderfully engraved with a lot of detail, a different matching design for each stamp. Making 50 different engravings under time pressure for a stamp issue is no small feat! A handsome and desirable set, VF, perfect condition, fresh and clean. Addressed, as these were issued for PCS. Contained in a special album with text about the wildlife on each different stamp. Retail value is right around $75 for this particular set of 50 beautiful covers! Less than 50 cents per cover!

Elvis Presley First Day Cover Collection: Cachets and Cancellations of the 3 Different U.S. Elvis Stamp Issues: A large collection of ONLY Elvis covers; a 14-inch stack covers -- approximately 650 covers (not counted). The vast majority are FDCs of the three different 1993 Elvis stamps, with a plethora of different cachets and/or cancellations. There are some (less than 10% I would say) that are not FDCs, but have other Elvis-themed cancellations. Though the cachets are not all different (there may be various different FD cancels for the same cachet; likely very low volume items), the overall variety is incredible. These were collected by an avid philatelist and Elvis fan who lived in the Memphis area at the time and he had contacts with local cachet makers, etc. -- some of them are surely very-low-quantity cachets. As a wonderful coincidence, the American First Day Cover Society has just (late 2020) published an Elvis FDC cachets catalog either as a downloaded PDF or as unbound printed pages that can be purchased here. With this collection and that catalog, you will have a huge head start on a terrific collection. Some of these covers are going to be scarce due to various factors, though not necessarily valuable. However, certainly there are covers present up to at least $5 in value, if not more. Priced as a collection at LESS THAN 50-cents per cover, this is a huge bargain. Keep in mind that the stamp itself cost 29 cents and the postage to obtain each one cost either 29 cents or 58 cents! I do not think you will find a better deal. Get him while Elvis IS In The Building!
