Item Description

Most Unusual Perf freak on 3c ROSE: HUGE VOID TO LEFT, 3c WASHINGTON (SCOTT #65), canceled with grid, tied by hard-to-read Bainbridge NY CDS to sm NARROW COVER, the freak is very visible due to iuts size and the fact that this must have been an example from the edge OF THE SHEET, addr AUSTIN NEVADA, ms JUNE 30 & OVERLAND MAIL, ONE FLAP (SEE LAST PHOTO) MISSING, FINE-VF, EXTREMELY UNUSUAL.

THE last scan also shows a handstamped "BM" IN THE SHAPE OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. THIS WAS THE MARK OF LEADING TENN. COLLECTOR BILLY MATZ. WHY HE WAS INTERESTED IN A COVER THAT HAD NO TENNESSEE CONNECTION I AM NOT SURE, BUT HE DIDN'T COLLECT JUNK . . .
