Wonders of America

THE FINEST WILDLIFE SET I'VE EVER PRODUCED

This set of forty stamps was an issue dedicated to American superlatives. The largest animal. The longest river. The highest mountains. The deepest lake, etc., etc. As I pondered the themes I would use for the various cachets, it quickly became apparent that I was looking at an opportunity to create a series of wildlife art First Day Covers that could surpass any I had ever produced. The seed was sown. And.. .1 rolled up my sleeves.

During and after these 2006 First Day Covers were sent to my collectors, the feedback was fantastic. With all due modesty, I must admit that these individually hand watercolored cachets with predominantly wildlife themes turned out much nicer than I had hoped or anticipated. Just look at the enclosed examples and remember that 100% of the color you see is the result of the individual hand painting of each and every Collins cachet. The natural and realistic colors in this set are astounding.

Only a limited number of sets remain available. It's a certainty that this offering will result in their being sold out. So, if you enjoy wildlife art and appreciate the artistic effort and craftsmanship time that goes into each Collins cachet, this set is for you. All orders will be honored on a first-come/firstserved basis. With a shipping and invoicing schedule of one per month, this set is affordable for every collector. The enclosed copies are good, but the actual watercolored cachets are magnificent. You will truly look forward to each shipment as you build your Wonders of America with Collins hand painted cachets. Thanks.
