Includes many banknote and multicolored frankings, many special cancels and DPOs, and many advertising and other items of interest. All sleeved, priced in the $5.00-$20.00 range, and sorted only by price point, they were prepared for sale, but never offered, so you get first pick. | Cat. Value: S.B. 3,000.00

| 620 | FDC | Dealer stock of 150 individual covers or sets of covers, all sleeved and priced. Primarily first days including classic singles, early sets, and modern handpainted, plus a few events. Condition varies a little, but offered at a small fraction of the $14,400.00 total retail so profit opportunity is there. | Cat. Value: S.B. 2,200.00

Includes 9x1, 1, 2, 32, 33, 36B, 71, 85E, 115, 117, etc., but there are some questionable items. Many were collected for frankings, cancels, auxiliary markings, or historical connections.
