Showing Some Examples Of Covers That I Think Qualify For My Collection

the quality and condition I search for is beauty before rarity(value).
cover and stamps without flaws, cancellations clean and readable, text on the cover aesthetic pleasing to my eyes.

None of the following are rare, the mixed parcel to iceland is a bit spicy but there exist a few others of them from the same sender to the same reciever on Iceland and all are pretty much as pretty as the one I own, so can't call it rare.











another field of collection is danish bicolored 100øre. And in this area I have to compromise those standards as those covers rarely displays great aesthetics
This is the one i've found that comes closest to those standards



it's only a front, and sadly has a crease - but best i've come across.

Theres a lot of covers with 100øre, especially these parcel letters, those shipped to foreign countries are few though.

a few might be doubting that I don't care about rarity when it comes to covers :)

Since I buy a collection or 2 now and then, I sometimes find good items.

this service lettercard is an example of such. I knew it was a good cover, but it has a crease between 2 stamps so I can't use it.



At a seminar I met the leading exhibitor of Danish service stamps, and his jaw dropped while he said; this is 1 of, now, 3 known sent to a foreign country.

And while he browsed through my covers he told me that this also would have a much better life in his collection :)



Very late usage of service stamp, sent from the police, returned and unopened which is very rare, most likely one of a kind. Since it has a roller cancel I don't like I can't use it.

and I would happily swap these for some beautiful common covers as long as accumulated value match especially if these covers can add a ½ point to an already incredible exhibition.

while I only hold on to aesthetic covers for my collection I'm not oblivious to value and rarity.

I don't understand your title. What previous post?

Would you consider replacing the title with information about the types of covers you are presenting?

This would allow viewers to find the covers you displayed.

Thank you.

I agree with the above. The title is a puzzler - at least give us a link to the post in question
