Does someone know the history of ACE hand painted covers?

Alan Jacobsen

I don't normally collect covers, but sometimes I like the art.

They seem to be postmarked from the 1940's to the 1990's,
from all over the country.
They also appear to be numbered.

These two caught my eye because they are a cross collectable with my wifes thistle collection.

Dubble post sorry.

ACE = Art Cover Exchange, a fun group that's been around for decades:

Dubble Bubble. They are pretty cool and creative covers though.

Alan Jacobsen

Crap.
I kind of like them.
Now I have something else to spend my stamp budget on.

Budget and stamp do not go in the same sentence. Just sayin'

I blew through my August budget three weeks ago.

I am working on October's budget right now, for 2023!!

My biggest fear for when I'm gone,
is my wife will sell my collection for what I said I paid for it.

Nothing you can do about it at that point. Or, you could tell her the truth and risk an earlier exit.
