Philatelic Follies and First Day Covers in a U-Haul box. Two binders of 22k foil "Proof replicas" of the stamp as part of the cachet on First Day (or Commemorative) covers. About 40 different covers, a bit later than normally seen (late 1980s-mid-1990s) as most collectors had given up on the investment quality of these products (original cost over US$400.00). Next up is a commemorative folder for the Statue of Liberty, followed by a 1977-78 "Fleetwood" commemorative cover collection honouring America’s First Ladies (usually with a stamp depicting their husbands!), and a 1983 complete set of 93 covers honouring the "Proudest Americans" (cost US$300.). Returning to more conventional philately are three cover albums with about 100 mostly cacheted FDCs and commemorative covers from 1948-1982 (most Artcraft but includes others). Estimate =
