 For the next few weeks I'll be talking about the first day covers of ArtCraft along with everything else. ArtCraft closed it's doors recently after 76 years of making philatelic history. I'm predicting a sudden, salubrious escalation in the value
of the ArtCraft cachet, all ArtCraft first day covers and ArtCraft portrait cards. Their departure signals the end of an extraordinarily crucial, very important, highly significant and exceedingly meaningful period in philately A mournful signal which will be heard around the world and lamented throughout the multitude of collectors Leo and Sam August treasured their associations with the world's greatest philatelists Leo's contributions to our hobby were significant enough to earn the coveted Luft Award and a place in the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame. ArtCraft has well-earned it's place in the great chronological record in the history of philately. Their
raised ink, line-engraved intaglio printed cachets rank among the most aesthetic in the world. ArtCraft cachets are not just beautiful. They are works of art that showcase the wonders of the world and illuminate the powers of human creativity and ingenuity.
The Coober Pedy Cover
Could this become la pièce de résistance de toute la modern Australian philatélie ? Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia. The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal
capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its
below-ground residences,called "dugouts", which are built in this fashion due to the scorching daytime heat.
The name "Coober Pedy" comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means "white man's hole".

 "Time has flown and hasn't landed yet."
What does this mean ?  When David Saks says, "Time has flown, but it hasn't landed yet," it suggests that while time has passed quickly, the impact or consequences of that passage are not yet fully realized or felt. It's a poetic way of expressing a sense of movement and change without a definitive conclusion or outcome. Imagine a bird flying swiftly through the air—it covers a lot of distance, but until it lands, the journey isn't complete. Similarly, our experiences and events in life might rush by, but their full meaning or effects might not settle in until later. It's a thought-provoking way to describe the fluid and often unpredictable nature of time and life.
 "Our planet is our family table. Let's sit together and break bread instead of bones." David Saks
