Essentially, it's a sealed envelope with some sort of history or picture on the front, with a franked (cancelled) stamp (or several stamps, depending). Usually very pretty and/or decorative.
I'm wondering if anyone else collects these. My husband does, and these are doubles I've picked up for trading/swapping purposes. I don't know how to do a swap-bot swap for them, as I'm afraid people would end up getting the same thing they send out. Does anyone have any ideas? I posted in the swap-bot forum here: http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/53227
I can get more of them, if needed. There are others available at the small post office, but I may not be able to get the same ones. I tried to pick out the nicer ones. Great if you're a stamp collector, or if you just want something really cool from Canada :)
They're from different years, each of them and each has its own historical or informatory signifigance.

You could always see who wants to swap for them and then set up one on one swaps so everyone has a partner from a different country (less likely to get a duplicate that way).
Personally, I've heard of them, but have never actually seen one. Definitely has swap potential though!
