I personally obtained this event cover over 35 years ago and have been the only owner. This event cover has a typewritten address (front side) and no return address on the front or back of the envelope.
Envelope details:
Envelope is white, size #6 ¾ (3⅝” x 6 ½”, 3.625” x 6.5”, 92.1mm x 165.1mm)
Commercial style, gummed seam overlaps. Gummed “mint” seal flap.
Seam overlaps will normally have slight bleed through on backside due to the age of the envelope. The postal cover was sent in to the post office with the seal flap tucked in side with a card stiffener. When received back the card stiffener was removed and the seal flap pulled out of the envelope. The gum on the seal flap is “mint” and does not show any bleed through since the gum was never activated. The cover has always been stored in low humidity in an archival sleeve.
Some backside postal markings will not be completely visible unless the seal flap is tucked back into the envelope since this is the way the cover was processed.

Combined Shipping: Combined shipping always offered to save you S&H cost if the items can be shipped together. For postal covers, only the base S&H for one cover will be charged for multiple covers shipped in a single purchase and single shipment. (Example: Buy 10 postal covers, your S&H is only $1.95 (domestic price only) for a single mailing of these covers, the price for mailing one cover.) However, you will only receive the combined shipping when you make one payment for all covers and S&H. Applies to U.S., Canada, and International.
For other items (not postal covers), combined shipping is offered and has to be confirmed before your payment.
I have to send you a combined invoice for your multiple items before you can make payment. Wait for this combined invoice before paying for any multiple items. Combined shipping is only offered when one payment is made for multiple items.

Domestic Mail Shipping: Flat rate of $1.95. This item will be sent via USPS.

If international shipping is shown for an auction, my Canada and all other international shipping & handling rates only cover the shipping/mailing of the auction item. It never includes any amount for your importing the auction item into your country. Custom duties and fees, import charges, broker fees, extra delivery charges within your country, processing fees, revenue tax collection, or any type of fee or cost for you to get the package into your hands within your country, are at your additional cost beyond the amount you paid in total for the auction item (winning bid amount plus shipping & handling.)
My international shipments will not be returned to me if you do not accept delivery of the package. I do not pay to have the package returned to me. It is the buyer's loss, as the buyer pays for the auction item, never gets the item, and never gets a refund - if the package is not accepted. Be sure to provide your local phone number that can be used to help make delivery of your package to your shipment address. Verify your shipment address is correct to allow normal delivery to you without delay.
I use eBay's combined shipping label & custom form. I do not honor any type of request to falsify any details of the custom form that is attached to the package.
