Lot 13 U1601 - $1.80 Future Mail Transportation — Imperforate Souvenir Sheet (Robot) 11-24-89

This truly cute space topical cachet is a favorite of mine. A robotic postman, delivering mail aboard a space station, is the hand painted cachet on this cover. Separate cachet components are the custom Collins identifying logo for the World Stamp Expo series (see book page 181) and an oil can which is a whimsical visual reference to my cachet robot. The full $1.80 imperforate souvenir sheet (with all four 45-cent Future Mail Delivery stamps) franks this cover, and it is postmarked with the super oneday World Expo cancel that you had to be there to get. I was. A wonderful scarce space Collins that I know you will enjoy.
