Anyone else watching this? Canada Post put out a commemorative FDC to honour Purdy's Chocolates. I believe it follows the US in putting out one for Neilson's??
Only 10k were issued and I did not pre-order mine, assuming that our local PO would have it. No! The initial price was $2.50, one sold on Ebay a day ago for $29 US and is now in the buyers store at $38.50 US buy it now price. I did manage to get one at $10US because it has a coffee stain on the back. Don't have it yet to see how bad it is. I want it for my collection, not for resale so I'll settle for slightly used.
It's been interesting to watch at any rate.

I got mine and I'm most pleased, the slight coffee stain on the back is hardly noticeable and one could almost say it's a chocolate stain. Ha ha.
I managed to pick up the Beatles stamps as well at our local PO, it came in it's own little booklet / folder thing with the six stamps plus a 4 stamp souvenir sheet. Very spiffy and glad I did not have to order it from the UK.
