| Here you have a beautiful cover from HONG KONG. It was really sent by mail (I received the Hong Kong Volleyball stamp issue in it), and it is franked with not less than 43 (!!!) Volleyball stamps. It is a registered cover (see label), it was sent by airmail (see label) and it was checked by a private delivery service (see label on the backside). A real philatelic item ! A nice addition to my collection. | |

| What we have here is a product from the AUSTRALIAN post. This kind of envelopes are produced by many postal organizations to be sold to collectors. Actually, to get this cover, I had to buy the complete set of not less than 10 covers. This cover was not used postally, it is simply a product to make money. It is not recommended to use it in an official exhibition. | |
