I recently acquired this pretty little thing with all 15 stamps from Newfoundland's Cabot Issue in 1898.

My daughter asked "What is the most number of stamps on a cover?"

And I thought this might be a fun post for all to share their covers.

It was registered to Hoboken (I can upload the back if anyone wants to see the registration cancels in Boston and Hoboken and St Johns.)

Anyone out there in Hoboken that would know Mr Grimm Esquire?

Enjoy

Do they have to be all different? If not...



I've posted this one before, but there's 49 stamps total, front and back!

There are a lot of German inflationary covers from the early 1920s with LAYERS of stamps piled on top of one another. There are also Russian covers from that era with the same characteristics (any country with hyperinflation really).

Battlestamps - Wow !

49 stamps seems like a pretty high water mark...

who is next? revenue collector--i'd love to see an image with an amateurish count of a German or Russian cover just for kicks.

Not strictly a serious thread here, but sharing is fun... should I have posted this on the non-canadian cover forum? or does it matter?

I'll upload the back of my cover tonight...

I don't collect covers so this is one that I gave away a few weeks ago. It has 26 stamps and is from Nicaragua to Canada.

Lovely cover, worth a few more shillings than mine.

ncbuckeye has asked earlier to see the reverse of the original Newfoundland cover that I posted at the top...

here it is with some interesting cancels...not sure if one of you US collectors could tell me about the "Registry Division" in Boston?

And what a beautiful round the world cover Stallzer. I'm awestruck. Tell us about it..
