Welcome to MJR postcards & Covers website www.mjrpostcardsandcovers.ca. This is our first ever so please be patient with us as there may be a few glitches a long the way.
We have been busy. This past 2009 year we have attended shows in Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton (2 shows), Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. The collecting interest is strong with the price of material going up with a varied collecting interest.
We have noticed a renewed interest in the collecting of First Day Covers especially before 1950. To find an Ottawa cancel with a clean cachet and clean cover are now difficult to find. This is especially true in the 1930's and 1940's.
Another area of renewed interest is the collecting of First Flight Covers. Catalogue values are low but prices realized are higher because of the used stamp value.
Postal history is very strong particularly with Saskatchewan and Assiniboia cancels. There are quite a number of customers collecting in this area.
Real photo postcards, small town Canada and Railroad Depots top the postcard Real Photo postcards pre 1915 are commanding high prices.
So until next time,
Happy hunting,
John Bucci
