Unlisted Booklet - #BK215Ba


Dear Reader,
We are seeking further information on BK215Ba - the Unitrade Catalogue lists this as coming with UPC Bar Code 01718 6. SPC, C paper designation, open cover. In a collection of booklets we found one of the listed as above booklets but also one exactly the same except sealed. Same UPC bar code. Have any of you found sealed copies with this bar code?
Seasons Greetings,
John Talman

Canada Post Limited Edition Souvenir Stamp Pack - Capex 78

(click on the picture for a larger image)
We recently came across this scarce Canada Post Limited Edition - Souvenir Stamp Pack. Unlisted in the Unitrade Catalogue and apparently given to Capex 78 Organizing Committee as a gift. We don't know the current value, perhaps you could tell us what you think!

Our Customer Writes...

We recently received a note from one of our loyal eBay buyers:

Q: Hi John, thanks for everything thankyou very much , seems i owe you some more money , wish i was richer would buy all your stamps , When i was 6 , i went by bus to Downtown Vancouver to the stamp shops , must have been around 6 of them , best days of my life , anyways thanks John

To which we replied:

Hi, Enjoyed your note! Thank you very much! My parents had a used book store when I was a kid and we attracted a few stamp collectors as customers. One of them, a guy named Bob Libby taught me a lot about stamp collecting. The store was near Dundas and Ossington in downtown Toronto and many days or nights I would take a long walk and look in the many store windows that held a few stamps for sale. I had a paper route and would also caddy at golf clubs, thus I had a few spare bucks to spend on stamps. After all, stamps are not a matter of life or death, they are far more important than that!
All the best,
John Talman


Always good to hear from you!
