Collins Cover Announcement 

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

Bear Market Cachet

When stock values are in a strong upward trend, it is called a "Bull" Market. My hand-painted cachet on this COLLINS First Day Cover uses this theme very dramatically. A large, menacing bull is an awesome sight as he stands with head lowered and sharp, curving pointed horns at the ready. With one front leg slightly cocked, it appears as if he is ready to charge at any second. Certainly, this FDC will become among the most recognized and sought after for this Bicentennial Stock Exchange issue.

The stamp is postmarked with a New York City bullseye cancel. The text is an important part of my presentation and uses bold, large lettering to increase the sense of strength and power. A very distinctive FDC. Item *H2001. $10.50.

Still available for this issue at the same $10.50 price is Item #H2002 which features a large, intimidating grizzly as symbolic of a Bear Market. A "must" companion piece for the Bull Market cover. Together they make an exciting pair that will be coveted and actively sought in the years ahead. Be sure your collection acquires them now at original price.
