Actually you now have what we used to call in the philatelic world (were I was working for the longest time) a "rarity". Better hang on to the envelope as it will fetch a decent price in the future.
Bit late...I reposted it this afternoon along with most of the remains of my mum's christmas posting left after the theft of contents of parcels (leaving wrappings and cards - returned by a council worker who found them and the return address on one of the wrappings).
What exactly is the rarity of it? There were no marks to suggest it had ever gone through the UK postal system
Got an odd look from the block behind the counter in the post office when I asked for a 12c stamp so that I could obey the instructions on the sticky label. I've since remailed it, after paying the full UK airmail postage (65p or 85p...can't remember which now)...I'll have to ask mum to ask the recipient to carefully open the envelope and return it to me.
