Lot32-W102 — Albert Einstein — (only 50 produced!) — 3-4-79

The pictorial first day of issue postmark propels this limited-edition Collins variety to the "WOW" factor. After obtaining the stamps in the official city of Princeton, New Jersey and obtaining the first day of issue postmarks there, it was off to Nashua, New Hampshire for a beyond magnificent ,pictorial large and bold E=MC2 postmark. It is so large that it actually ties both stamps to the envelope with the March 4, 1979 cancel. Plus, the size fills the entire face of the cover, making it a visual showpiece. I have never seen this cover on the open market except when I offered it in the spring of 2021. At that time, it brought $902. Only 50 in existence. Thank you.
