As time goes by it becomes more and more difficult to find sizable hoards like that...<br />I agree with all your remarks, and would just add that in addition to the contrived covers you can also find wholly faked covers, with either stolen postmarks or forged postmarks. But as you say, a forensically-informed look at covers like that usually disqualify them quickly.<br />Also complete agreement on the postal use of (some) provisionals. I have a soft spot for the Nikolaev "computer" stamps and was fortunate enough to buy a hoard of approx. 300 items of commercial mail franked with them. Repetitive?
