Dinosaurs

Goniopholis

Fred Collins Signature

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

Goniopholis and Daspletosaurus

These are the next two editions in my nine-cover Dinosaur set I must say that this is going to be an awesome group of covers and a "must own" mini-set.

Goniopholis was a giant crocodile-like creature from the Jurassic Period. I use the whole cover for my hand-painted cachet showing this ferocious beast. In addition to the stamp, I included the adjoining section of the souvenir sheet as it expands the crocodile scene segment of the sheet. It has "The World of Dinosaurs" special First Day postmark.

Daspletosaurus, a notorious meat-eater, is the dinosaur featured on the other cover. It was a relative of Tyrannosaurus and a member of a group of dinosaurs classified as Saurischian. In my hand-painted cachet, a Daspletosaurus makes ready to defend its young from an approaching intruder.

The watercolor techniques used on this set bring out very colorful scenes from the Age of Dinosaurs and I have tried to complement the color combinations used on the souvenir sheet. Goniopholis - Item #L2704 and Daspletosaurus - Item #2707 are $11.75 each.
