My prices are very competitive in comparison but also reflect the condition of the item being soldThis is a growing area of collecting, where cover collectors are looking to expand there run of the mill FDC collection to include the myriad of small producers such as Benham, Philart, Conoisseur, ,Cotswold ,Wessex, Stuart, Mercury, Universal etc. and also to have a selection of some of the special handstamps available for each issue, often with a relationship to the stamp issue. Sometimes even a CDS or ordinary FDI postmark or slogan postmark will also add to the value when it relates in someway to the issue, its a great way of expanding a FDC collection beyond the generic PO covers. tUnaddressed covers are generally worth more, followed by small labels, typed and the hand addressed. CDS= circular date stamp, FDI= first day of issue handstamp, special handstamp= a pictorial postmark specially produced for that issue, slogan postmark = slogan postmark Please see my other New Zealand, Great Britain and World Listings Each item dispatched wrapped in plastic with card support, please note that during the pandemic delivery times are longer than normal, especially internationally, please be patient.
