How very cool Interest!

Looking at the covers and the cancellation images reminds me so much of Sydpex in 1980. (Though there were no coins involved and they didn't stuff up the date, they did however manage to put people in a queue that took around 6 hours to clear).

Geez, I have a few bundles of FDCs (both minature sheet and strip) around somewhere. Must dig them out one day (something in the back of my mind says I have one from all the capital cities). Still have a few numbered minature sheets somewhere too.

I have a 5/- Bridge maxicard somewhere too, not that it was Sydpex related but came to mind when I saw your stamps.

Oh, the pain, the pain ....... :laugh2:
