Boxes of covers on approval - take them home - Webmaster - 12-01-2026
I have stacks of Bankers Boxes full of covers.
Two categories - USA and Worldwide (sorry, no "Canada only" -- Canada goes in the Worldwide boxes)
Club members are encouraged to take the whole box home on approval for a good browse -- whether you are interested in them as covers, or just looking for unusual stamps to soak. Just sign out the box and bring it back next meeting.
Price is 50c per cover. I bring a limited number of boxes each meeting. Reserve a box by letting me know before the meeting and I'll bring one just for you! Let me know if you want a USA box or a Worldwide box.

Now Roy, you know this is NOT going to help me as I try to keep from hoarding "smalls bits of paper covered on the back with a glutinous wash", right?!?!
Bad, Roy! Bad!

I can confirm what an amazing offer this is. There's never really enough time at a club meeting to carefully (and pleasurably take your time to) look through the hundreds of fifty-cent covers that are in Roy's big bankers' boxes. Take one home by all means.
Janet takes one home on a regular basis and I live vicariously by going through the box when she's done. (Saves having to carry two boxes home - smile). It's amazing what you can find in the worldwide boxes .. auxiliary markings, perfins, pre-cancels, postal stationery, fascinating letters, postcards of all sorts ... not to mention the stamps. Hours of fun!
Cheers, Hugh
