I have an item of balloon post as per scan, it seems like a first day cover and there is definitely something inside the envelope. The envelope is sealed and I am dying to know what is inside!



Anyone know if this specific item has an insert? My logical brain is telling me it is just a piece of card.

I have around another 70 items of balloon post if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Very nice collection, thank for sharing. I didn't see a Buffalo Balloon though.

I wish there was a Buffalo Balloon - with only 23 used copies I would be smiling . Sadly these are all modern.

I have decided newbies can only handle
perhaps 3-5 covers at a time.
That was balloon cover overload!

I'll go back for a second dip soon.

You need perhaps a slide show with those,
with the 5th dimension singing "Up Up and away" in the background.

I can do the slideshow and if I posted up only 5 at a time no one would ever see them, I get distracted easily and would have stopped posting at about 10.

Now I wish I knew more about these covers, I see there is a new years cover among them post marked 01.01. Also a holograph one.

Finding information on these covers are a bit of a nightmare - anyone with some resources?
