Nice Commemorative Issue.

Hi guys..More finds in the bulk auction I got yesterday at the stamp club..Nice commemorative issue envelope that I had never seen before.

Hi Wert. That looks like series #2 card. I think from 1960. #1 is from 1959. This is off the top of my head but I think I have the dates correct. They are in the Unitrade Catalog in the annual collections pages.

These were the original start for the annual collections. There was 5 or 6 on card before they progressed to the larger and larger format that we see today.

I just pulled out my binder that contains these. The cards go from 59-74 and then becomes book form, soft cover then into hard cover.

wert - that's a "souvenir card." These annual cards were issued between 1959 and 1972 inclusive. Thematic collections began in 1970 with EXPO 70........and then in 1972 the annual "card" was joined by an "annual collection." That was the end of the "cards."

Here's the lobby poster for the 1959 collection. (Way more rare than the collection itself).

Didn't know that pamphlet even existed..Very nice CanadaStamp

We had one of those on the 'draw table' at our stamp club. People buy tickets, and if they're number is drawn, they get to pick what ever they want off the table. I think that went fairly quickly.
Very nice piece.

edit - nope I was wrong, I have it right here (I take care of the table draw).
The one I have here is similar to yours, with some of the same stamps, but while yours says Series 2, the one I'm holding is Series 3.
I also have, in my hot little hands Series' 5, 6, 7 and 8
