After having acquired, more or less by accident, a few Official Covers, I decided this summer to actively start looking for more. It has not taken long to discover exactly why the catalogue listings are so high for these items and my budget doesn't really run to actually paying catalogue. They are few and far between!
However, bargains are out there and I was delighted to find this group at a reasonable price.
They are posted for information only in case there are a few others out there who like this kind of material. Since these are also registered covers, the back is shown as well because of the always interesting transit markings. These, if you look closely, include a couple of nice RPO postmarks.
Enjoy!

Now, if only I had a sample of an old UIC 485 form, (whatever it was), the grouping would be complete.
