Winter 2024 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 15 T401 — Desert Plants — 12/11/81

A trip to First Day city Tucson resulted in a postmark there on two of the stamps. Then it was off to Green Valley, Arizona where the other two stamps received a nice quality magenta first day cancel.

Importantly, the Green Valley cancel ties both pairs to the envelope. This is a great opportunity to get this very attractive cover. I don't believe it has been offered since it appeared in a Spring 2000 mail sale. This is a perfect time to add a really nice Collins first day cover.
