United States/BOB & Other : Rate Drop Envelopes

Author	Postings
saleem 30 Jan 2013 01:04:54pm	Got this fine unused example in a bunch of covers. This was privately printed, I haven't seen any of these used on commercial mail, has anyone seen these used? This was printed to advertise the domestic arimail rate drop by US Postal Service from 8Â¢ to 5Â¢ This one goes into my US Airmails exhibit Login to Like this post "Experience is the name you give to the mistakes you made yesterday."

tomiseksj 01 Feb 2013 11:34:34am	re: Rate Drop Envelopes Saleem, Since this thread deals with "rate drops" I hope you won't mind my posting a few last day/first day covers from the 1928 air mail rate change.

amsd Editor, Seal News; contributor, JuicyHeads 01 Feb 2013 11:42:48am Auctions	re: Rate Drop Envelopes the last cover is interesting on two fronts. First, it's Berman to Herman. And, second, Scott prices the C11 differently on covers from this date than on dates pre or post.

musicman APS #213005 01 Feb 2013 09:08:38pm	re: Rate Drop Envelopes Steven, Would you consider putting the C11 cover in the auction? I'd certainly be interested in bidding on it. Randy Login to Like this post
saleem 01 Feb 2013 10:38:08pm	re: Rate Drop Envelopes Thanks for posting the images Steve - I also have/had a few of these rate drop rate increase covers but have sold them at auctions as I'm only interested in commercial uses.

tomiseksj 02 Feb 2013 11:29:25am	re: Rate Drop Envelopes Randy, Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, that is the only C11 that I have on cover so I'm not inclined to part with it. Steve Login to Like this post "APS Member #130102; SRS Member #1570" thestampforum.boards.net
