Dinosaurs

Brachiosaurus

Important Notice

An exciting Collins set of nine vibrant covers containing all 15 of the new Dinosaur stamps. This is an experimental offering which will enable collectors to complete a Collins set over a relatively short time without usual long delays or monthly payments. An early sell-out is anticipated.

World of the Dinosaurs

Rather than stretch this set out over an extended period with monthly payments, I've decided to try offering it in the regular ordering procedure. Starting with these two Dinosaur covers, I'll be offering the full set one or two items at a time until complete. The cachets are superb and the watercolors bring the prehistoric creatures and their environments "alive" in vivid detail. Don't miss this opportunity to have the Collins "World of the Dinosaurs" set in your collection. Start with these two and then add one or two as offered. As time goes on, you'll be very happy to have them in your FDC holdings. Many other cachetmakers skip the sets and, as a result, very few handpainted ones exist. This is very good news for Collins collectors because they end up with highly sought items with excellent market potential. I think you'll like very much completing this set quickly over the next few months, and I know you'll love the cachets. I expect a fast sell-out, but once you start, you are guaranteed the full set of nine. Acquire them now at original prices. The Collins FDCs for "The World of the Dinosaurs."

The World Of Dinosaurse

Brachiosaurus

Allosaurus and Stegosaurus

These two Collins Covers begin my "World of Dinosaurs" mini-series which you will definitely not want to miss. It's a hot topical as a collecting specialty. I've designed the cachets with lots of detail and show the various dinosaurs in natural environments. The use of watercolors to individually hand paint each of these covers turned out to be especially effective, and you will love having this set in your holdings. I have no doubt that in the future Collins will become "the" series of cachets to own for this appealing set of stamps.

I used all fifteen stamps on my covers and show all fifteen different dinosaurs in my large, full-envelope cachets. In the interest of reducing the overall number of covers (I didn't think 15 was necessary for this set), I'm happy to report that a marvelous complete series of nine cachets evolved. Some will feature one dinosaur species (the more well known and/or spectacular ones) such as the gigantic brachiosaurus.

Others will have two of the stamps with both species represented in my cachet such as the allosaurus and stegosaurus. The hand painting must be seen firsthand. These are beautiful First Day Covers!

The remainder of this set will be coming in the weeks and months ahead. Start now with the towering brachiosaurus as it forages in a primeval jungle with volcanic mountains in the distance. Start now with the fierce, carnivorous allosaurus as it stalks the plant-eating, back-plated stegosaurus. Start now with these first two cachets and work toward completion as you add those coming soon. Item numbers assigned to this set are L2701 to L2709.
