Three Kings (with some family). Includes Tut, Charles and Elvis. These are all commemorative albums that were marketed with an investment edge to them, meaning the purchasers took a bath. But because there is some artistic and philatelic interest to these, you can pick them up 40+ years later at a fraction of their original price. The King Tut gold foil stamps were produced for the non-UPU Staffa Island (Scotland), and 40 productions are individually described in two custom-made binders (original cost US$800.00!!!). The "King of Rock and Roll" includes a Postal Commemorative Society folder and a couple that are in the size and shape of a vinyl record (they might be duplicates), and a few commemorative covers (mostly focused on the US Elvis issue). The balance is from the British Royal Family with stamps (1972 Wedding anniversary - White Ace, 1977 Silver Jubilee - White Ace, 1977 Silver Jubilee (booklets) - Prangnell, 1977 Silver Jubilee Royal Caribbean tour, 1978 Coronation Silver Jubilee - sheetlets of six, 1981 the future King (Charles) and Diana Wedding). First Day covers are 1977 Silver Jubilee - one booklet of "official" first day covers, the other with "Westminster Collectors Society" cachets and ending with about 15 FDCs from the 1982 Royal Wedding Anniversary.
