A fairly inexpensive cover that I paid too much for ($7), but the canceled Schaubek label on the back, and the unusual destination are the reasons I purchased it.
Not surprisingly, the cachet on the cover is Soviet themed to go along with a pair of Stalin commemorative stamps.
Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example. I collect for enjoyment, not investment. APS Member #223433 Postmark Collectors Club Member #6333 Meter Stamp Society Member #1409
Quote: It was sent to a stamp company, Colon Philately. Maybe as a courtesy??
I didn't catch the fact that it was a FDC. I'm not the least bit surprised that it's philatelically used and was sent to a stamp company.
What I really find amusing (and ironic) is that this cover serves as an advertising piece for a corporation (Schaubek) in spite of East Germany's aversion to capitalism.
