The color of this rare pinkish #11 variety was confirmed by the seller by comparing the color to the pink in the cherry blossoms on the "Plant For a More Beautiful America" commemorative stamp from 1966 (Scott 1318).

The stamp doesn't even belong to the cover. The cancel "tying" the stamp is fake, and there's a piece out of the stamp on the left side someone tried to obscure with "cancellation".

It's only $93 a month for 24 months. It should double in value by the time I pay it off

You guys are Funny! (and, it's NOT a "guy"). How can anyone say anything about this without viewing it in hand? I've seen people on here yelling at posters about their items, that they haven't been seen 'professionally' to make any pronouncements. I'd say, take a dose of your own medicine. If you look closely, you'll see that the cover has a highly embossed design. We have similar covers in stock from that time period, and full cancellations on them can be elusive Of course, the easiest way to see if it is a faked cancel, is to run it under a Black, or Diamond light. Any variance of a newer ink will glow...

Still, it's comforting that she's going to get it certified if it doesn't sell on ebay ...

Scott will then need to change the listing from "pinkish" to "cherry blossom pink". Hey, at least no pigeons had to bleed for this comparison!

Pink has always had a more feminine connotation, and this is a ladies cover, so it must be pink.

This stamp has about a 1% chance of being pink. And that % is giving it the benefit of the doubt.
