Subscriber-Only Limited Edition

This is the fourth and final Collins cover in this set of four that was produced just for my subscribers. Doing these limited editions each year is my way of saying Thank You for your ongoing subscription.

The modern Batman projects a strong and formidable persona. It is one that I'm very pleased to add to your collection as it will certainly become a very _desirable cachet within the hobby now and in the years ahead. The round Bat-Signal stamp provides an additional powerful collectible factor as a full sheet of 20 Batman stamps had to be purchased to obtain this single Bat-Signal stamp.

This cover completes the set of this subscriber-only limited edition set of four. The Modern Age Batman with Bat-Signal stamp is now ready. Collins #Z5304 at $13.50.

Summer 2025 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 34 Z5301 — Batman — The Golden Age of Comics — 10/9/14

This very dynamic and eye-opening cover was produced for Subscribers-Only and represents the "Golden Age of Comics." The Sub-Only covers were the only Collins covers that actually show Batman in the cachets. (My regular covers for this issue were different versions of the Batmobile, but for Batman himself, these limited covers were it.) On each sheet of Batman stamps that the Postal Service sold, there was a single stamp for four different circular bat-signals. In other words, a sheet of 20 stamps had to be purchased to obtain the single round stamp that is used on this cover. As you can imagine, not many first day covers exist with these interesting stamps, but they do exist on the Collins covers. It adds a very nice philatelic aspect and makes them very desirable in the hobby. This is a rare opportunity to acquire the very unique stamp on a dynamic and brightly colored hand painted Collins cover. First time offered in one of my mail sales.
