Where are the cover collectors?

[Deleted]

I am a 50 year collector. I started with US and then foreign stamps but as my bookshelves started to fill I realized there is a lot to learn from the postal history included with the entire cover or even better the enclosure. My current interests are pre-1950 FDC's, flight covers, Highway post office covers, fancy cancels, machine cancels, flag cancels, Nuclear subs,  space covers, etc.

Always great to have a cover collector participate in this forum!

I admit, I don't actively collect covers, other than the ones that happen to fall into my lap. But this not for lack of interest -- I'm a WW collector and it became an issue of available space. The great majority of covers I kept over the years are simply First Day Covers.

So I'd be really interested in seeing your covers! Looking forward to your participation and pics!

I've got a bunch of 1930-1940 FDC facets in a box somewhere. Maybe I can find them, have been meaning to list them on eBay, but, y'know.

Oh, welcome and Aloha from Hawaii.
