First Day Covers
Years ago I had a trade source for First Day Covers produced by a major philatelic bureau. So I bought everyone that was ever issued in the naive belief that one day they might be worth something. Ha ha 
Typically they are covers produced for British Overseas protectorates and would be a set of say 6 covers covering all stamp values for things like Royal celebrations etc. I have them all in pristine condition in several small suitcases, probably over 1000 or them. Completely unsorted and uncatalogued.
I want to get shot of them so what's the best way to do this? I really don't fancy the hassle of using e-bay. I don't even know if they would normally be collated as an issue e.g. the Queen's anniversary issue or on a territory basis e.g. all stamps issued by Falkland Islands.
So comments please from anyone with knowledge of FDCs. Cheers, dl

Not sure David, but my Grandfather bought me hundreds of first day covers (and all the Royal mint coin issues) so I really should think about finding out myself

Oh and I bought a couple of Krugerands when I was a bit pissed leaving J'Burg once. Put them somewhere "safe". Do you think I can find the buggers now
And they are worth something!!
