Canada 992a 32c Multicoloured Various Forts, 1983 Canadian Forts Issue, A VF Canada Post Official FDC MF Cream Envelope

A VF canada post official FDC of the 32c multicoloured Various Forts from the 1983 Canadian Forts Issue MF cream envelope. The MF envelopes appear to be the standard ones for this issue. The fluorescence of the envelopes is an important characteristic that has been ignored by all the catalogues. Why does it matter? Because the envelope is an integral component of the FDC in the same way that a cover would be to a complete booklet, or the cardboard insert would be to a pack of plate blocks. The expectation, and general observation would be that Canada Post would utilize one type of envelope for a particular issue, so that if a different one from the standard type is found, then there is a good chance that it will be scarce, and is therefore, in our opinion collectible.

Unitrade values this at $6.8.
