A collection of Isle of Man First Day Covers presented in two ring-bound albums, one green and one red. The collection spans the period 1973 to 1986 as indicated by the spine labels.

Visible contents include the 1978 Europa architectural issue, a Definitive New Values issue, the 1985 Christmas issue, and the 1986 Manx Museum Centenary issue. The stamps are perforated and cancellations are generally well-struck. The covers are housed within clear plastic sleeves inside multi-ring binders.


Condition report:

The albums and covers appear to be in good overall condition. The ring-bound binders show minor shelf wear consistent with age. The first day covers are well-preserved within plastic sleeves with clear cancellations and no visible foxing, heavy toning, or edge wear to the visible envelopes.
