Not a very broad collection, following a strict definition for a "topical" collection, but done thematically, one which is near and dear to my heart. US #3651 - Harry Houdini (2002) single and pane   US #3651v (as in vanished!) An easy trick, once the secret is revealed!  Gentle pressure with a gum eraser removes the ink. |

Not just a plain old ordinary UX55 postal card. One of the last surviving First Day of Foolin' card, issued for the Grand Opening of Romig Magic and Book Company in 1971. This one is unused, I have a properly mailed one addressed to me in my grandfather's handwriting and I know of one other in a private collection of magic in California.   |

I also include advertising covers in my collection, preferably addressed to the shop address. One of my favorites, an oversized cover from Belgian manufacturer Mephisto-Huis, postmarked 24.4.78.  |
