This is one of my most beautiful covers (Karl Lewis cover). It is like a work of art. Hand painted watercolor. I am selling it on ebay. I need to find it a good new home. Can't take it to the grave with me. I see some of these go for +$500, and some for $250. I found a very similar one recently sold at auction for over $400 (which means $480 with the 20% buyer's commission). I do not have many items in my collection that get prices anywhere near that. Makes my Canadian Bluenose look like simple album filler.



The whole layout of this cover is just amazing to me.

Several are priced about the same as your cover on ebay. One cover actually sold on ebay. Price $76.
Your particular cover is very nice.

i posted this under US covers as it is mailed to the United States and the creator of these incredible covers was an American (living in Japan).

I have collected a few Karl Lewis covers. I noticed earlier this year, Kelleher had an auction in Hong Kong of "The Steve Berlin Collection of Karl Lewis Covers", 300+ beautifully executed covers!

Altogether that's quite a fortune. The auction catalogue is indeed a beautiful collection that opens my eyes, interesting origin places and some full-cover scenes with wonderful colors.
