Post Card Factory and Canada Post pre-paid postal stationery view cards from 1990’s-2000’s. A variety of issues here including Commemoratives, Tourism, Lunar New Year, and a selection of the hard-to-find cards that can only be purchased through local sellers, usually in the regions depicted. One of the emerging issues with these post cards is that because the value is tied to the International letter rate, currently $2.71 each, the cost of buying cards has significantly hampered collector purchases, and almost eliminated dealers from buying. Collectors who are trying to find these cards, to supplement stamp issues, for topical purposes, or just for completeness, are having a hard time finding them. This lot has 120 mint items (Face Value $325.00) as well as a dozen cancelled-to-order cards sent by the collector to himself. Used cards are much harder to find than mint. Estimate =
