A separate listing for the #10 envelopes follows.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="12c_benjamin_franklin_803.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="1/2c Benjamin Franklin (803)"><B>SHEET STAMPS</B></A></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>WGC-1 (These are generally found on the 1/2c and 1 1/2c varieties.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="850" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 492 WIDTH="409"><div> <B><IMG SRC="193a90ac0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-1 No city above frame.  Objects on either side of frame may be in a different order and may consist of either two or four items.</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="422"><div> <B><IMG SRC="193c90a30.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="419" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-1A - Same as WGC-1, except with first day city above frame.</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div>    </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>WGC-2 and WGC-3 (These are generally found on most of the stamps, excluding the 1/2c, 1 1/2c, and the 4 1/2c)</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="850" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 488 WIDTH="409"><div> <B><IMG SRC="194090bb0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="443" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-2 No city above frame.  Stars may reach to top and bottom of frame or be closer together.</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="422"><div> <B><IMG SRC="193e90b20.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="434" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-2A - Same as WGC-2, except with first day city above frame.</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 560 WIDTH="409"><div> <B><IMG SRC="194790af0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="431" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-2B - Similar to WGC-2, except second line has the year date instead of "First Day Cover."  A variety of this cachet exists with the year  in a much smaller font. </B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="422"><div> <B><IMG SRC="193f8db60.jpg" border=0 width="397" height="438" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WGC-3 - Different text above frame.  Also, the stars surrounding the frame are usually further from the frame than in the previous types.  This type often has more lines of text in the paragraph below the frame.

denominations and varieties of the Presidential Series.  Most of those designed for individual issues contain two cachets.  But Crosby also designed cachets specifically to be used with groups of stamps and those often just have one cachet.  To allow for additional types of cachets, the #10 envelopes will start with a designation of WGC-101, etc.  Additionally, specific variations of the

variations are found when one examines the frame around the photos.  There are 6 different types of frames that I have identified, and I have decided to refer to these variations as Frames A,B,C,D,E, F.   And to add to the variety, each of these different frames can occur "upside down", making 12 different frame varieties.  To distinguish between the two versions, they will be referred to as either 1 or 2.  So, for example A1 will refer to the image shown on the left below, while A2 to the "upside down" version shown on the right.  <B>Please also note that some of the images illustrated here are not clear enough to determine whether they are type 1 or type 2 so I have simply designated them with the appropriate frame letter without the numerical number.</B></div> <bR> <div> Here are pictures and descriptions of the types of frames that I have identified.  (Note that the fifth and sixth types ("E" and "F") have only been seen on coil and booklet pane varieties.)  While there are many differences between each frame design, I have identified the most obvious differences to make it easier to distinguish each frame design.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="15"
