Better Item with Complete Set

37 EAST GERMAN COVERS
(ALL PHILATELIC, MOST 1965 - 1974)

An excellent source of genuine used stamps, all from the same philatelic correspondence. 29 covers bear a cachet related to the stamps, but are not first day covers.  A few of these cachets are colorless and embossed; but most have eye appeal (see the one above). While most covers bear many different stamps from the same set, most miss the "sperrwert" which was sold at a premium.
Nonetheless, there are a few complete sets, yielding genuinely used examples of the sperrwert. Size of the covers are all as shown above, so they mount easily on album pages. Average retail almost $2 each, with enough full sets & "sperrwert" to compensate for the inexpensive ones.

$34.00 postpaid to a US address.
