Hi guys
Due to Webshots becoming Smile, I have re-located all my pics to Photobucket. This is an update on the Early Bird Collection that I currently have – some collective pics as well as some individual pics.
Hope you guys like the pics … Here we go … :hmm:


(a) Early Bird Certificate MISP – gem mint

(b) Early Bird Certificate MISP – gem mint

(c) Early Bird Certificate MISP – AFA80+

(d) Early Bird Certificate MIP – open complete (photocopy of certificate)


(a) Early Bird Mailer Kit (DT Luke) – AFA85 – 85-85-85
(b) Early Bird Mailer Kit (DT Luke) Transition Set – AFA85 – 85-85-85 (bigger SW catalogue and SW-C baggie DT Luke)
(c) Early Bird Mailer Kit (non-DT Luke) – AFA85 – 80-85-85
Cheers, Mark
*********************** original post below ***********************************
Finally, the last few pieces arrived today to complete my full run on the Early Bird sets. Thought I let u guys have a look at them as the 2 EB Certificates that arrived today were super minty mint and ungraded ... which if graded, may probably be 90s or at least 85s. This is a group shot of the 2:-

It was a great score for me and probably formed the best deal of this year for me. Each Certificate will now accompany each EB mailer set variation.
Here goes with the limelight:-
1. Early Bird Certificate MISP (1):triumphant:


2. Early Bird Certificate MISP (2)

3. Early Bird Certificate MISP AFA 80+

4. Early Bird Mailer Kit [DT Luke] AFA85

5. Early Bird Mailer Kit [DT Luke / Transition Set] AFA85:congratulatory:

6. Early Bird Mailer Kit [non-DT Luke] AFA 85

Hopefully, I get a group shot of all of them when I have them up on display.

Latest addition to the family is the original newspaper cutting of the Early Bird Certificate advertisement that was found in the Houston Chronicle on 11 December 1977 - here it is:-
