FIRST DAY COVERS FOR SALE 2007

Please add for postage $.50 four each four covers [or fraction thereof]  to US addresses [$1.00 to addresses outside the US.]  For more than 12 covers, please inquire.  Please pay by check or cash.  I do not now have charge card capability - but if business warrants, I will add that in the future.  For those outside the US paying by check - please use a check from a bank from within the US as other checks incur huge charges.  Money orders from places other than the US or Japan cannot be accepted for the same reason. 
Quantities are limited.  Most are limited to 25 - the minimum that would allow me to qualify as a dealer.
