2 days ago I wrote about covers with many stamps on... a fellow collector sent me a scan of another example. Thank you George!
This cover was sent in 1993 from Nigeria. What do you think of it? I'm not a big fan of overlapping stamps on a cover and I've said it before... but the number is a plus, isn't it?
If I would to grade this cover I would give it a NO... a not good philatelic example! Hope you agree.... lets see what do you have to say about it!

My first thought was "Ugh! That looks ugly."
It's not something I'd want in my collection.
It is ugly, but it could also be showing true commercial use of the stamps. Some people prefer 'non-philatelic' covers - that is, covers which are very collectable for philately but which are not contrived by collectors or philatelists. Contrived covers are not as good as proper commercial covers for FIP competitions.
Huh ! Those covers are wonderful. But I think no one wants to frank stamps like this, as it mean their money is losing ....
