Winter 2020 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 17 C1602e — Lesser Scam) — 1989 Federal Duck Stamp — Black Bear variety— (6-30-89)

This is one of the most intriguing and desirable lots in the entire sale. If you are missing this cachet variety in your collection, now is one of the few opportunities you will ever have to acquire it. The bottom line is that only 73 exist with the Black Bear cachet (Cl602e). If you are a duck cover enthusiast, or if you like to seek out the scarcer Collins covers, this one is for you. Since so few covers were produced for each wildlife species, I look for these items to increase dramatically in value and also to become more difficult to find. If you need the Black Bear, this is a seldom-seen opportunity.
