AWARDS
During the last couple of
decades, Collins Hand Painted FDCs have won numerous awards in the
national cachetmakers competition held by the American First Day
Cover Society. Although I am greatly honored by such awards and
recognition, the main goal that I strive for is to be considered
"the best" or "number one" by the individual collector. Your opinion
is what matters most, and I invite you to try my hand painted
cachets and examine them firsthand.
FUN AND
INVESTMENT
In my opinion, stamp and
cover collecting should be enjoyed for the sheer fun of it, and
never as a primary investment tool. If however, the future potential
value of your FDCs does matter to you, I invite you to look at some
of the realizations of Collins cachets on the open market. As new
collectors discover my FDCs in future years, my covers of today will
become hobby treasures of tomorrow. Anyone can make bold claims, but
Collins FDCs offer a verifiable track record of over a quarter of a
century. Always keep the fun in collecting. |

INDIVIDUALLY HAND
PAINTED
Each and every Collins
cachet is individually hand painted in beautiful watercolors. Brush
stroke after careful brush stroke brings each cover to life, and
they truly are miniature works of art. You have to see them to
believe them, and I invite you to compare them to any in your
collection. You be the judge.
AFFORDABLE
If you work within a
hobby budget, you'll appreciate the various ways that make my hand
painted cachets affordable for almost everyone. You can acquire my
lovely First Day Covers on a "per Item" basis or by topic. An
optional subscription plan offers a discount, and I accept all major
credit cards. My larger sets (Greetings from America, Wonders of
America, Wildlife Habitats, etc...) are offered on a one-per-month
payment plan. You can build a meaningful Collins collection within
your budget. |
