Canada Covers

First Day Cover accumulation. The bulk is volumes III and IV from the infamous "Story of Canada" plus a number of extras from volumes II-IV with three binders and matching slip cover. Along with this is the single FDC presentation folder for Canada’s 125th birthday. These covers took Canada Post cacheted FDCs and added an additional gold foiled cachet and paired it with an older, similarly themed stamp. These later covers from 1986-1989 are harder to find as many subscribers had soared on the $10 per cover price. There are Fleetwood folders for 1979 Canada Flags, Eskimo and airplane issues. Finally, a small handful of other FDCs including some Capex ’78 (saw three plate blocks with the $1.25 value) and a few much more recent, such as the Sidney Crosby hockey and Star Trek FDC packs, plus a few more. Outrageous original cost (over $800.00). Estimate =
