Well over 300 on this one. There is a thread about 'full' covers somewhere but I cannot find it at present.  |

I received this in the mail last week and was going to post it, but now it doesn't seem so special.  |

I got this back in the summer but it doesn’t hold a candle to the ones @wert and Londonbus1 received!  |

Wow! I love that flag stamp on the left. Is that a $5 face value stamp? What year is it? Never seen it.

There is a Canadian dealer that makes a point of sending registered letters to his regular customers who purchase more expensive items and he uses modern Canadian stamps like the $5 flag stamp or the Toronto Maple leaf or the Borg stamp or whatever other hi-value stamps are in current use as part of the postage. The covers are almost as collectible as the stamps you purchase from him and I have several in my albums. The stamps are in-period and hand-cancelled and usually very attractively franked. I won't name the dealer as I'm not sure that would be permitted here but he has told me that he has seen one or two of his envelopes on resale auction sites. It would be nice if more dealers took that trouble instead of using out-of-period stamps bought at discounted prices.

Agreed nbstamper and a valid point; I support dealers, most of them the brick & mortar variety, that not only provide quality material, some helpful advice from time-to-time, but also include the current issues for the postage in an attractive package as part of the transaction. As you say, a keepsake in its own right! I think there are some dealers out there that realise this is an added service they can provide to attract and maintain customers and If we, as the collectors, can encourage this, the entire hobby can benefit and that's got to be a good thing :-) So whether it is dealers from Italy, New Zealand, Portugal or elsewhere, "a rising tide lifts all boats" and we can only encourage that tide through supporting dealers who appreciate our business and provide additional value as part of the interaction between client and themselves which could include using current postage stamp issues.
If you are unable to share the dealer's name in a public thread, can I ask you to please do forward it to me in a PM as I am always on the lookout for new dealers that are dedicated to and supportive of the hobby...
Happy collecting!
