It's Magic, the 1987 Royal Mail Christmas issue, was canceled in London with a commercial Hamley's postmark promoting "the finest toy shop in the world" on the first day cover. Thirteen years later, one such cover was signed by illustrator Ronald Searle. The Christmas cover and the later autograph seem unrelated; they coexist on an envelope for no apparent reason. Still, the price realized on eBay indicates that at least someone out there appreciates this sort of dual collectible.
