Morris W. Beck US States Covers

Morris W. Beck produced two different series of covers honoring the states and territories.  These covers were produced for collectors that sent in their envelopes.  It was a similar service to his other series such as Presidents and Naval event covers.  See the checklist below after the example scans from the two state series.  These covers are hard to find especially in a complete set.  A complete set for the 1951-2  or 1956-7 series sells for $250-300 each and are rarely found.
