A clutch of First Day and Commemorative cover "investment" lots, now available at a small fraction of their original cost. Heavily marketed in the 1970's-1980's towards non-collectors, these covers were both attractive and breathtakingly expensive, often coming in custom made albums. As cachet collecting has expanded amongst collectors, individual covers now have appeal for collectors seeking "completeness". Or these are perfect for the collector who always wanted to own them but couldn’t bring themselves to shell out the original retail price. This U-Haul box includes the "History of Aviation" (1978, with 52 covers), UN Flags (1981, 1982, 1984, with 48 covers), US Birds and Flowers (1978, 50 covers), 1976 Christmas (Postmaster Association, 12 covers), 1976 Philatelic History of the US (50 covers), 1977 Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee (Pobjoy and Fleetwood/Westminster).
