Israel Value Question 1

LondonBus1 or another Israel expert. Do these covers have any special value? They are part of a large lot I purchased from our advertiser, NYStamps.

Laswabbie you collect Isreal?

Tina - I just started and have made a few huge (for me) buys. In fact, I spent so much on stamps I haven't even been able to buy an album yet. It will be a month or so before I can do anything but inventory what I have. I'll have a fair bit of duplicate stock that I can share in a month or so also.

It's all Michael's (Londonbus1) fault and I'll swear to that in court or if my wife catches me!

BTW, I'll also have a fair stack of covers available as well.

No worries. I have sent her a letter denying all responsibility for your new collection. I even told her I advised you against starting another new country but you wouldn't listen. I'm sure she'll talk to you about it !

Regarding the covers, I would say they have a mark-up but nothing too fantastic. I have the odd signed cover around somewhere which are not worth much.
It very much depends on who signed it.

Londonbus1.....Willing to sign covers anytime

Thanks for the info London!

BTW I'm having a blast going through this collection. I'm spending a lot of time on the Israeli Philatelic Foundation website (http://english.israelphilately.org.il/ as I'm cataloging and separating everything into my album and accumulation piles.

Yes, it's a great site. I often refer to it and check new issues. Good pics too.
Except it's a Federation...not a foundation !!

Londonbus1....have fun with your collection. Let me know of any finds.

Hey London - quick nit picking what I write! It's had to get everything right when you're trying to play with your stamps, answer the telephone, act like you're working and eat a hamburger and fries all at the same time. Especially when the BOSS keeps looking in the door asking stupid questions that she thinks I care about.

I have just seen 22 of these covers for sale.
All different, two of which you have, which means there are 198 more !! Rare to see two lots in such quick time given the low numbers.
One was signed by Moshe Sharett, the first foreign minister and former Prime Minister.
The price was AU$150.00 !! A bit pricey at AU$7 a piece.

Londonbus1...not pricey at all

I haven't gotten around to looking at the ones I have closely - I guess I need to do that. Maybe I've got a famous politician or even better - a movie star!
