1968 Government issue souvenir Year Set
|
|
|
|
|
The very first souvenir set
This is it! The holy grail of United States Souvenir Year sets. Issued every year by the US Post Office beginning with this set, right up to the present. You can't have the complete collection without this one, the very first and by far the scarcest. Very few were sold, the stamps removed and the folio discarded. All original in the actual Post Office envelope that it was mailed in. A reasonable estimate of probably less than a few hundred exist!
