French Post Office produced "limited number" oversized "Silk" first day presentation cards which featured the stamp, appropriately cancelled, along with an attractive complimenting silkscreened cachet and a description about the history that accompanied the stamp. Produced in limited quantities of 13,500 per issue, these items are often offered for US$15.00 EACH from online sellers. This lot covers 1978-80 (card #356/497), including 98 different issues. Three-hole punched during production, this lot is housed in a specialty binder, as the cards are about 12" x 8 1/2" in size. Might be the occasional minor fault, but generally in good condition, and all are strikingly attractive. Estimate =
