Description

A collection of British First Day Covers dating from 1973 to 1985, presented in a blue textured bound album with clear plastic internal sleeves. The collection comprises numerous commemorative and definitive issues from the Post Office, featuring themes such as Sport 1980, Christmas 1980, London Landmarks, the London 1980 International Stamp Exhibition, and New Definitive Values. The covers are franked with various decimal-value stamps and bear official postmarks from locations including Nottingham and Derby. Most items are addressed to private recipients, featuring both handwritten addresses and typed adhesive labels. A handwritten label on the upper right corner of the album cover identifies the date range of the contents.


Condition report:

The collection appears to be in good, well-preserved condition. The covers are housed securely within protective sleeves and show no significant signs of foxing, staining, or physical damage. The album exterior shows minor shelf wear consistent with age and use.
