First Day Cover. Extremely rare cacheted and numbered privately produced First Day Cover of the recalled 2015 issue "Wrong Hoodoo" $8.60 souvenir sheet containing one $1.20 "Wrong Hoodoo". The souvenir sheet on FDC is the key Hoodoo item. This verified Towne Centre Kelowna Post Office production is cover #5 from a total run of 18 covers produced. Peter Lepold produced a set of 18 FDCs with the Hoodoos souvenir sheet error and submitted them through the Towne Center Post Office in Kelowna which is a verified Canada Post outlet so the Unitrade warning about manipulated dates does not apply. No Canada Post outlet would engage in spurious backdating. Lepold's products have been the topics of several stories in CSN, most notably in connection with the Hoodoos stamp error (Scott #2844) of July 3, 2015. Gary Dickinson, First Day Cover columnist for Canadian Stamp News (issue of 10 Dec 2019, page 10) reported that Lepold was fortunate to obtain copies of the erroneous souvenir sheet before they were recalled and produced some FDCs for both single stamps and the souvenir sheet. That number was supplied by Peter himself so it is well verifiable. Note that the thin black line on the scan is from the mount and not on the cover. 2020 Unitrade.
