Description: THIS LOT CONTAINS A COLLECTION OF THIRTY-EIGHT (38) DIFFERENT NAVAL COVERS FROM BATTLESHIPS/CRUISERS IN FINE-VERY FINE CONDITION.Kindly see the photos to view all of the naval covers (battleships and cruisers) contained in this unit.. The number of covers and the year of postmark is as follows: 1930's — 19, 1940's— 7, 1950s -- 1, 1960's — 1, 1970's —2, 1980's —6, 1990's —2, a total of 38 covers. A few words concerning value: The Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) is the primary organization for the study, classification, identification, and, valuation of naval covers. The catalogs they offer detaiiing cachets and postmarks are essential for a determination of value, and they simplify valuations by recognizing only a few categories: "A" - common, $1-$2.00 each, "B" - limited, $3-$6.00 each, "C" - scarce - $7-$10.00 each, and, "R" -rare (4 groups), above $10.00 each. The factors affecting value are primarily the cachet and the postal cancellation for the specific ship, however value is also enhanced by fancy cancellations, errors, signed covers, 'photo' cachets, back of cover markings, and other markings. Every cover is illustrated so that you can actually see all the factors that determine a final value. .A starting point in the determination of value would be the postmark for a specific ship. Most of the official date stamps for major ship events (launch, commission, etc) are rated "B" ($3-$6.00 each) — there are numerous "B" rated covers in the group. Depending upon the cachet and other markings, the rating could be elevated to "C"-- it is doubtful that rare covers ("R") are included. Similarly, an ordinary cover ("A" rating) could be elevated due to the scarcity of the cachet or other markings. These covers have not been screened for scarce postmarks, cancellations, cachets, or, other premium characteristics, and would merit further study. A reasonable estimate of retail value for this group of naval covers is $150.00-$175.00.THESE NAVAL COVERS HAVE A PRICE OF $72.00 - a fresh group of battleship & cruiser naval covers with a price of less than $2.00 per cover.. ************************************************************************************************************** NOTEs: 1.
