Spring 2019 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 3 T101 — Martin Luther King

I believe that this FDC is the best one produced for the issue. It is a historic stamp as it does represent a transitional time in our history as a nation. The hand painted cachet shows Rev. King in front of the Lincoln Memorial. After obtaining the stamps and postmark in Atlanta, Georgia, I traveled to Birmingham, Alabama for a first day cancel in the city of confrontations that shaped history. This was one of those early trips when I knew in my heart that Collins First Day Covers were going to be something special. A fme collectible.
