First Day Covers / British Columbia Postmarks. An interesting and unusual lot of 315 First Day Covers, dated 2003-2006, each bearing an unusual "modern" illustrated cachet and being cancelled from around the province of BC (with some Alberta too). The postmarks in this group are quite interesting, as the collector made a point of travelling to all-ends of the province to acquire postmarks from as many different BC post offices as he could (for example, the 2004 "Pets" issue, which has all the FDC cancelled at different areas of the Okanagan region, which means he would have travelled between those post offices on that day). A huge variety of postmarks, including many "modern" offices which were often only open for a short-period. These are totally unchecked and "one of a kind" as they were made by the collector for his own collection. Estimate =
