Collins Cover Announcement 

HUMPHREY BOGART

Legends of Hollywood Series

Limited Edition - Subscriber Only Variety

Twice each year as a way of saying "Thank You" to my subscribers, I produce extremely limited Collins Covers just for you. They are not offered to non-subscribers. No extras are available. They are an instant "sold out." These subscriber-only FDCs have become among the most elusive of all Collins Covers.

This one is a classic. It portrays the scene from the 1942 Bogart hit movie "Casablanca." My hand-painted cachet shows Bogie as Rick BlaMe in the famous airport scene in which he is saying good-bye to Ilse, played by Ingrid Bergman. Claude Rains, portraying sympathetic police captain Louis Renault, stands nearby. In the background is the last plane to Paris on which Ilse will soon depart.

Treasure this one in your collection because it will become very difficult to obtain from here on. Produced only for my subscribers with no extras available. A very limited-edition Collins FDC.

Autum 2019 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 26 U2702 — Humphrey Bogart — 7/31/97

This is the subscriber-only limited-edition cover that pays tribute to one of Hollywood's all-time favorite leading men. Bogart was a unique actor, and this hand painted cachet has a fabulous portrayal of the good-bye scene at the Casablanca Airport. I don't believe this cover has ever been offered before in my mail sales. Very hard to find. "Here's looking at you. Kid."
