Collins Cover Announcement 

Hawaii

50th Anniversary of Statehood

This is the brightest, most vivid and most colorful cachet of the year! It is a magnificent hand painted cachet depicting a small grouping of endangered monk seals on a secluded tropical beach framed by the blazing glory of a Hawaiian sunrise. This_stunning Collins cover will evoke a_favorable_cormnent from anyone that you show it to.

The new stamp has a nice design which is also related to the sea that surrounds the island chain. A surfer rides a wave on his longboard, and behind him a couple paddle their outrigger canoe toward shore. A bright blue color makes the attractive stamp a perfect complement to the great visual impact of the watercolored cachet.

In conclusion, let me stress to wildlife collectors that I have not compromised my commitment to realism in this cachet. The monk seals are illustrated in fine detail and are painted in natural, realistic colors. I think that is what makes the glorious explosion of the island dawn that surrounds them so beautiful. This one will further enhance the Collins reputation and is a good candidate for a quick sellout. Don't miss it — 50th Anniversary of the State of Hawaii. Collins #Y4601 —$14.00.
