Collins Cover Announcement 

RECREATIONAL SPORTS

TENNIS

This is the second COLLINS Cover that I've offered in my dynamic recreational sports series of five. You'll find yourself right in the center of the tennis court and the ball is coming right at you! In fact, the large "close-up look" at the various balls in this series will make these COLLINS Covers the most recognizable in the hobby for these stamps. More about that in a moment.

The rest of this cachet finds your opponent back on the baseline on the opposite side of the court. Her racket is raised and her long blond hair is flying as the action heats up. The meshed net is a big part of this scene but it truly is one that you have to see for yourself. Hard to put into descriptive words. The brightly colored stamp has the Day of Issue cancel from Jupiter, Florida.

You will want to be sure that these recreational COLLINS FDCs (Golf, Tennis, Volleyball, Softball and Bowling) are in your collection. Once their designs become known within the hobby, sports topical collectors will consider them a must. Also, I honestly believe that I've come up with a unique cachet perspective that starts with a large close-up of the ball itself and then builds the action design from there. Finally, millions upon millions of people partake in one or more of these five sports. As such, they will always be popular with stamp collectors who have participated in the various games. Once sold out of my stock, look for these COLLINS Covers to move up quickly on the open market.

As for now, this one is ready to ship. Game, set, match! Tennis. Item #G2405. $10.75.
