Yes, The Rockall covers were special, for they commemorate a heroic venture... but they only relate to Discworld by virtue of having a Leshp stamp on them as well. I'll have a go at getting one the next time one comes up for sale on e-bay. (They put me strongly in mind of the time we eventually managed to effect a landing on Lundy on a very rough day!)
The Red Nosed Patrician / 90 LBE competition covers are also very special, but they are rare collectors items, not Discworld artifacts per se. As I already have a mint RNP, I doubt I'll ever see one of the three covers come up for sale or be able to justify paying out the high price which one would command. As for the Dragon sanctuary covers I only managed to get one intact, and the closure had gone so brittle that it opened itself on examination. This was cover #9, (Om be Praised etc), stamped with three Penny civic stamps, (No sport I'm afraid), and contained a joined pair of 1P duty paid stamps, a 2P pink seamstress, a franked Leshp, a franked 2P Plum, and a franked 10P Green morporkia, (both Wincanton Perforated). So no fabulous sports there. The high price and lack of availability of sealed and intact Dragon Sanctuary covers make it unlikely that I'll ever have a full set of them, let alone the variants that Jonty mentions. The Black and white postcards that you mention, Anne, I've got and listed them as "Set of 6 DW advertising Postcards", but I don't have the other Emporium advertising cards. They sound nice. The other set of post cards that I'm missing are the ones that came with the two cartoon videos, "Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music"... I'll try and pick those up at some stage. Thank you all for reminding me of items that I hadn't listed yet. I guess I'll have to add another section for items that fall between being Discworld artifacts and regular FDC's |
