9759	#179, F+, sound, canceled by an XF-superb SOTN strike of NYFM outline star killer in circle (Weiss ST-8P3) that neatly frames Taylor's portrait. Nice eye appeal.	SOLD
9760	#148, fine, sound, bearing an XF SOTN strike of rare NYFM letter "H" in circle killer (Weiss RE-L3) with partial red exchange office postmark. An exceptional item, almost impossible to find this well struck. Only two covers known bearing this rare NYFM killer (Kirke designated 73-01-09-PIC).	SOLD
9761	#148, VF-XF, sound, canceled by an XF-superb strike of NYFM narrow SE wedge killer (Weiss TR-S3), this example clearly representing the central "dot" puncture produced by the nail holding the killer to the hand stamp. Scarce.	$35
9763	#148, fine, sound, canceled by a VF-XF SOTN strike of NYFM 8 point solid star with hollow center killer (Weiss ST-8P1), this being the earlier of the two versions and only found on NBC issues and most frequently struck in red.	$45
9764	#159, F-VF, sound, canceled by a superb SOTN strike of rare NYFM geometric killer (Weiss GE-C9a), especially rare struck in red and and with all features so clear. A WOW NYFM fancy cancel. Weiss also illustrated 3¢ Banknote issue stamp struck in red. In May 2016 I wrote an article for the USCC regarding the first ever reported on-cover example of this killer, found on a locally mailed private mailing card and most likely canceled in the circular mail department of the NYC main post office. However, as noted in this article, it is still likely that this killer saw use on foreign destination mail given its recorded strike in red, such as this.	$175

9769	#161, fine, sound, two unpunched perfs at bottom, canceled by a VF-XF strike of rare NYFM star fancy killer (Weiss ST-MP2A, three known covers) clearly showing the shading of the star that is typically poorly evident on most strikes.	$100
