SwanR Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think those are rather lovely. Maybe I should start collecting first day covers. My dad used to get them for us as children. I’ve still got some somewhere. I wonder whether any of them are collector’s items now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Sadly mostly not.You can take them when able to a stamp shop.They can give a rough value. For many years I used to collect stamps.Sadly it got to a point when I no longer collected, I sold them for very little money. That said the fun is the collecting and comparing with other countries. In this day and age of gaming,social media etc.I wonder how many collect any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JM posted reference to these back in December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 my uncle used to have the seafront post round at deal, it was his job to take the first day covers and fibreglass postbox out to the goodwin sands, where they were posted, collected and franked before they made the trip back. for his trouble he had a copy of every first day cover posted from the goodwin sands.- another great tradition lost, like the cricket matches they held there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
