Princess Diana themed First Day Covers (FDC) in 14 Stanley Gibbons "Royal Events" cover albums. Includes 160 covers for the 1982 "Royal Baby" (Prince William), most of which are the stamps issued for Diana’s 21st birthday (but overprinted). There are also 216 covers for the 1981 Royal Wedding between Charles and Diana, almost all are the "common design" issues, including a number with souvenir sheets. The covers are all cacheted, unaddressed and a number are signed by the designer. There appears to have been confusion with this collector’s standing order, as there are duplicates throughout, with the "Royal Baby" issue having up to 4 of one type and the "Royal Wedding" with up to 6 of one type. The original cost of these covers was 2-7£ EACH! The albums are well loved, and the covers probably need to be rehoused. A total of 376 covers, representing an astronomical original cost. Great for on-line sales. Conservatively estimated at less than 50c per cover! Estimate =
