Market

The demand for Arkansas covers has risen steadily over the past 20 years. While far from a popular state, 20 years ago there were very few collectors and now there are a few collectors. The demand seems to be broad based, with many collectors focusing on the whole state or a group of counties, rather than a single county of one particular town.

Among the 50 states, the District of Columbia, R.P.O.'s and Streetcars, Arkansas rates as the 17th state in terms of percentage of covers sold at 57.80%. It ranks 39th in terms of the value of covers sold as percentage of all town cancels sold at 0.73%. The overall rank is 29th. This is a ten year running average. The most recent trends are about the same.
