Giveaway - 1980 National Stamp Week covers

[jam78]

Hi all, just doing a bit of spring cleaning (it is the first day of spring after all!) and came across a few items that will probably be consigned to a box under the bed (or a bin!), never to see the light of day again. Instead of adding to the landfill, thought they may be of interest to someone.

First I have 11 '80 National Stamp Week covers (1x sheet, 10x strip). All in reasonable condition, thought they might be of interest to someone who might want to distribute them amongst their kids/grandkids/whatever to get them started. Would like to see them go to someone who could genuinely use them rather than see them winding up on eBay with $0.99 each on them... Would rather not separate so will go as one lot (apologies for the dodgy photo, my scanner clapped out)

Secondly I have 3 post office packs, 1984 Australian Paintings specimens. Limit 1 per member, might be of thematic interest to someone. Not available to whoever takes the covers.

I'll cover postage, first in best dressed but please only take them if you really want them instead of taking them simply because they are free.

A very kind offer.
thank you, but I will pass as I have them.

the 1980 covers might interest those who collect exhibition material, postman themes etc.

Also, please note that the Specimen stamps cannot be used for postage, so dont grab for that reason, but they did cost $4 each, partly to raise funds for the exhibitions so it is a generous offer.

Hi AJ, unfortunately drvv got in first with the covers but if I come across another during my clearout I'll keep it aside for you

If possible, I would love to love to grab one of the 1984 Australian Paintings specimens.

Let me know via the board if one is still available and I will email my details.

AUSIPEX 84 was the only major exhibition my father got to attend.

Thank you for the kind offer.

Thank you so much for your generosity Sir. I am a new collector so currently I am collecting anything that looks beautiful. May be once I have a good collection of a little of every topic, then I will start thematic collection.
I am too inclined towards FDCs because they also have a story to tell apart from the stamps which in itself are woth collecting.
Thanks again for offering such wonderful pieces to the board.
Regards
AJ
