Canada #351/398 10c Maroon Brown - 5c Deep Grey Blue Various, 1955-1967 Wilding Issue & 1961-1962 Commemoratives, July 1962 25c Airmail Cover to Pakistan With Four Stamp Franking

A fine 25c airmail cover to Pakistan, sent in July 1962 and franked with three 1961-1962 commorative issues and the 1oc Inuk and Kayak. Lahore receiving backstamps on reverse.

Unusual because:

• Pakistan is a seldom seen destination at this time.
• The 25c airmail rate is also unusual, with most outgoing airmail covers either going to Europe or the US.
• The postage is almost all paid with current commemoratives.

Our estimate of the value of this cover based on the above factors is $25. To understand how we have assessed the cover and arrived at this estimate and to gain a broader understanding of postal history collecting, I would suggest you read the article linked here. It should clarify the factors that make covers, and this one in particular scarce, and will help you to understand why we have estimated it at this amount.
