This or a similar item is being sold on the British First Day Cover website from £20

- BFDC is a specialist FDC and cover website that publishes its own catalogue which lists all the special handstamps,producers and varieties of GB First Day Covers in existence, their selling prices are a good guide to current market values on GB covers/FDCs in general and I am using it here in lieu of Stanley Gibbons rather basic pricing.My prices are very competitive in comparison but also reflect the condition of the item being sold

This is a growing area of collecting, where cover collectors are looking to expand there run of the mill FDC collection to include the myriad of small producers such as Benham,Philart, Conoisseur, ,Cotswold ,Wessex etc. and also to have a selection of some of the special handstamps available for each issue,often with a relationship to the stamp issue. Sometimes even a CDS or ordinary FDI postmark or slogan postmark will also add to the value when it relates in someway to the issue

CDS= circular date stamp, FDI= first day of issue handstamp, special handstamp= a pictorial postmark specially produced for that issue, slogan postmark = slogan postmark
