A superb pair of limited edition covers bearing the magnificent Royal Mail sheet. The individual stamp labels show the countdown to victory, from the gates opening at 1pm to captain Bobby Moore being carried round the stadium in triumph, 41/2 tense hours later, in 20 evocative black and white images. The sheet has been divided and mounted on two covers, with a splendid 22ct gold blocked image of the old Wembley Stadium and two further images from 30th July 1966. The cover bears a Wembley cancellation on the day of issue.
A limited edition of 500 pairs.
