This cover caught my eye and I decided to purchase it. No good reason, other than the overall "busy" look to it.

I rarely look through covers that are for sale. Looking online to research marks I find on stamps? Sure. Looking at covers in exhibits? Sure. But I don't spend a lot of time looking at dealers' tables. So, could I get a little unvarnished input on this? What does it have going for it, from a cover collector's point of view? What does it lack? Don't feel bad telling me it is average or below average, if that is what you think.

I know the stamps are not special, and each individual marking seems to come from a large city, so perhaps not special. There is an RPO transit mark (?) on the back, which tilted me toward getting it. What do you think?







[edit: I should add that I now know that the seller was a larger stamp dealer, and the recipient likely was a dealer, as well.]
