Show Off Your Crosby Covers

Another nice cover Basil!

Basil,

I didn't realise the Crosby covers sell for so much!
McCusker has some for over US$30.00!

Time for a few more Crosby Covers, this time from 1940
A bit unsure about the Wyoming one, Does anyone have ideas?

And a few more to make my morning complete!



I do like this one!

L V:

The Wyoming FDC is listed as being produced by A P L and you can probably see those
three letters at the bottom of the cachet. A P L stands for American Philatelic Line.

Well, that doesn't mean he'll get that for them. I've purchased scores of covers from Mccusker, typically at 40% off his asking price. This is by waiting for them to come on sale, or by getting them at the starting price in his weekly auctions.

And if you think $30 is a lot for a Crosby cover, you should look at what "billsbargainstamps" (Bill Langs) asks for his on eBay. Of course, he typically asks for 3 to 4 times what they are worth. Except for unusually scarce items, I'm not sure why anyone would ever pay what he asks. Common items can typically be picked up from other sellers for about a quarter of what he asks.

Nice pick up JRC and thank you...these old eyes aren't what they used to be!
I usually get mine off eBay Basil, sometimes I get them for a dollar, not very often but sometimes!

And we are back!
I found some more!

3 more, including another favourite of mine
the 6c 1938 airmail stamp




And a couple of Baseball covers

Posted on another forum im sure it will get moved but just to be on the ball..
Id never heard of Crosby Covers till today. Probably not as exciting as Lincoln, but, Dr Sun Yat Sen (12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925) was a Chinese philosopher, physician, and politician, who served as the first president of the Republic of China and the first leader of the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party of China).

Here's a good sample of Crosby covers from my Vermont Statehood stamp of 1941 (Scott #903)

Finally, here are two FDCs from my1932 Olympic Winter Games exhibit showing scarce Beazell photographic cachets addressed to Crosby in 1932. I have an coming article in First Days about the Beazell covers.
