Notes:
Star Item: Whilst I have seen several copies of this cover with single stamps, I never knew that any had been produced with the full set. This is the rarest modern cover I have ever seen. For over forty years it has NEVER been listed in any of the British FDC catalogues - a true indication of its rarity. It will be listed in my next catalogue.
