Great Britain First Day Covers 1986-1991 Collection: Substantially complete, beautiful collection of about 58 different neatly (typed) addressed first day covers, of commemorative stamp issues, with official Royal Mail cachets. The typed address is how the official Royal Mail cacheted FDCs were typically supplied. (I am not even sure if it was possible to obtain unaddressed official cachets.) All are complete sets (one set per cover) representing a tremendous range of topics including Penny Black, Halleys Comet, sports, history, animals (owls, cats, dogs, etc.), airplanes, flowers, science, Linne, birds, Christmas, astronomy, dinosaurs, maps, etc., etc. Contained in handsome, new-looking maroon official "Royal Mail First Day Covers" binder. I have not carefully added up the Scott Catalogue value, but just as used stamps it is surely over $200! The binder alone (which many people use for their GB FDC collections) would surely cost at least $50 to obtain from Royal Mail considering the shipping cost from England. This is a terrific value (even for a dealer or eBayer)! I was tempted to break this up myself and offer these popular covers individually, but I just do not have the time! Shipping cost is additional for this item.
