last from the lot I acquired from another collector. I don't know about these....only one says First Day of Issue....most others have bright graphics or stamped type graphic....some have cards inside and some are empty.
Please review and bid accordingly

Questions & Comments

I prefer to use unaddressed covers, but if it's an oldie or a philatelic sort loves the postally used, then it can be very fine. I just love these 3 ROPEXs' as they are pristine!
PS: The 1776 flag represents our 13 colonies.
PSS: "RO"PEX is short for Rochester, NY. This would be sooo perfect framed for a history buff in or from Rochester, NY!!!

sounds great......I'm having trouble with the Listia site this morning......slow ending and navigating....good luck on the auction.....

Speaking of lovely & historic: the three 1976 Bicententials show covers cancelled in Rochester, NY should increase in value as the years move on. Ben Franklin coined "Join or Die" in a political cartoon on May 9, 1754. AND, drum roll, his stamp is on the cover! I'm not a "stamp collector" per se; will someone please tell me what the other stamp on the cover is? Great art, quote & symbolism in all 3 colors!

Jul 21st, 2013 at 2:17:40 PM PDT by

I keep thinking someone will jump in and answer your question.....I don't know what "other" stamp you are referring to.....Carole

The red, blue & green ROPEX-76s' would be so beautiful matted & framed together! I find & frame 1st day covers of a subject that relates to someone & give as a gift. Everyone has always loved them; it's guaranteed that they are always surprised & don't have one of these!:)

Jul 24th, 2013 at 8:52:30 AM PDT by

You are soooooo correct!!!! They would be beautiful......

Jul 24th, 2013 at 9:29:09 AM PDT by

I wanted to know what the stamp is beside Ben Franklin on the 1st 4 cover envelopes on your listing picture. I was specifically referring to the stamp on the 3 "PEX" covers I described. Thanks!

Jul 23rd, 2013 at 12:25:43 PM PDT by

The stamp is Scott Number 1690, 1976 issue 13cent Benjamin Franklin-First U.S.Postmaster....Carole

Thanks so much caroleelaine! I forgot that he was 1st Postmaster; doubly apropos then.

Jul 23rd, 2013 at 4:49:33 PM PDT by

You are most welcome.....you have made we wish I had not put these up for auction as they are truly historic in multiple ways!

No wish to add insult to injury but, per history.com "This Day in History" Nov 14, 1776:
""On this day in 1776, the St. James Chronicle of London carries an item announcing "The very identical Dr. Franklyn [Benjamin Franklin], whom Lord Chatham [former leading parliamentarian and colonial supporter William Pitt] so much caressed, and used to say he was proud in calling his friend, is now at the head of the rebellion in North America.""
This was a truly historic day! We may think that Franklin was always an ardent Patriot of the Rebellion; that's just not so. But his support of our Uprising was of immeasurable value! I'm quite sure that the Club did not pick this cancellation day randomly...
PS: Lest that anyone think that I'm a US history scholar, please let me disabuse you! It's only because of my history teaching husband that I have a remote clue! Plus Ben is the person he would most like to meet if he could, so well discussed here!

Also with me, glad to know it's not my connection! But so wish it was my circling the drain iPad1, want a new one:)

Jul 24th, 2013 at 9:59:45 AM PDT by

still problems here....if you win, my auctions are not "ending" on the site....

Jul 24th, 2013 at 10:45:48 AM PDT by

I framed the green '76 & it sits on my American History teaching husband's desk. But I don't have all 3 colors. Hmm, may have to bid on this myself. Not the greatest bidding strategy to advertise this, I'm sure! (But maybe the seller will appreciate it!)

Jul 21st, 2013 at 2:21:42 PM PDT by

and the seller DOES....TY

Jul 21st, 2013 at 2:56:34 PM PDT by

The ones that have "...PEX" in the name are from stamp shows sponsored by stamp clubs! The cover art is usually made by a member of the hosting club. Chosen stamps usually have some relationship to the theme, area, etc... A .member takes the covers to the PO that creates the special club cancellation. The club sells these at the show & later until they sell out. I don't know if collecting stamp show covers is a specialty or not, but it seems as if it should be! I've seen some very lovely & unique covers made for shows. Probably the seasoned collectors commenting here know this; it's amazing that I do, so it's for others that don't!

Jul 21st, 2013 at 2:01:27 PM PDT by

Thank you so much for that information......most helpful to anyone interested. I appreciate that you took the time to write this helpful comment.
