Celebrate the Century - 1980s

Compact Discs

Collins Anecdotal Note 

As Yogi Belra once said, "It's d6jd vu all over again." Back when I was starting the "Celebrate the Century" project, I made an error on the Orville and Wilbur Wright cachet. It was the last of the 1900s decade, and, as I was simultaneously working on the l910s, I mistakenly put 1910 on the wright Brothers cachet.

This time, for the compact discs cover (which was my final effort for the 1980s), I was simultaneously beginning work on the 1990s, and that date appears on the CD covers. In both cases, all of the covers produced have the error dates, so it will not affect the collectibility or value of your collection. And, perhaps as

collectible errors, these two covers might make your Collins Ceiebrate the Century series even more desirable.

Please keep this notice in or with your compact discs cover.

Lot 31 Celebrate the Century 1990s (15 covers) — (5-2-2000)

Near the end of the 1900s as we approached the new Millenium, the U.S. Postal Service decided to issue 15 new stamps for each decade under an umbrella title called -Celebrate the Century.- This lot contains all 15 Collins covers that I did for the decade of the 1990s. The "take-away- nugget that you should consider is that in addition to getting all of these covers, you will be acquiring several of those covers that have very high topical value as well as being a Collins. Look at these specific cachets

ONLY found in this set. Some examples are: the Gulf War; Jurassic Park; Major League Baseball Records; Endangered Species; The Titanic, Special Olympics; Return to Space; and the World Wide Web. Please look at these hand painted cachets plus the others in this lot and discover what a genuine Collins treasure chest this lot is.
