Why Precancels?
Precancels were a post office device for saving time and money. A sheet of 100 stamps could be precancelled in about the same time it took to cancel a single stamp on an envelope, a savings of 99 operations per 100 stamps! Canada Post officially authorized the use of precancels in the late 1880s and the last were produced in 1977, thereby covering a period of close to 100 years.
Prized by Philatelists
Growing rapidly in popularity, one of the pleasures of collecting precancels is that additions and expansion of your precancel collection can be made by spending time rather than money. Regardless of the length of time involved in collecting stamps, anyone has an equal chance of discovering the scarcer precancels.
