Item Description

( 16 ) Thank you for coming! Auto 100′ the Postage Stamp Car Collection To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Automobile, a group of six English-speaking nations (Grenada, Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Bequia & Union Island, and Tuvalu) assembled a collection of postage stamps featuring cars. This collection is the most comprehensive collection of car stamps ever issued. It commemorates the most important and historic road and race cars ever built, the designers, the racers, and manufacturers from around the world, and was entitled ‘The World’s Greatest Car Collection’. Introduced in 1984 by Stamp Collectors Society of America this collection includes 694 stamps, 61 full-page, full-color photographs, 60 ‘profiles’ of drivers, designers and manufacturers, a history of each automobile, and a detailed description and specification of every car on the stamps. All 306 pages are stored in a loose leaf, six-ring, black and gold decorated album, provided exclusively to subscribers. The total value of the complete collection, as detailed above, was $563.00 in the 1980s. As far as I can ascertain, this is a complete book. Each month the subscribers to the original collection received 24 Stamps, one or two photographs, and one or two profiles with an invoice for $19.50 and with a “Stamp Collectors Society of America” letter announcing the next set of 24 stamps. Each shipment featured additional information about cars, designers, racers, manufacturers, etc. Most copies of this book are incomplete or sold as individual pages on Hip. Likely only a few of the original subscribers completed their collection. I am aware of only one other complete copy, that being held in the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head Maine.
