THREE PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS: THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY HUNGARIAN COMMEMORATIVE FOLDER COMMEMORATING HUNGARY'S PARTICIPATION AT THE 23rd CHESS OLYMPIAD HELD IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA IN 1978. THE FOLDER OPENS LIKE A BOOK. THE COVER OF THE FOLDER IS CLEARLY APPARENT FROM THE 1st PICTURE. INCIDENTALLY THERE IS NO INFORMATION OF THE BACK OF THE FOLDER; HENCE THERE ARE 3 PICTURES. WHEN THE FOLDER IS OPENED YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE LAST TWO PICTURES. NOTE INCIDENTALLY THAT ON THE LAST PAGE (lower right hand corner indicates "000350". Thus this is unique number 350. I do not know how many were issued.) VIEWING THE INSIDE WE FIND ON THE LEFT PAGE A PERFORATED 1978 HUNGARIAN STAMP HONORING THIS EVENT ALONG WITH 2 DIFFERENT CANCELLATIONS. THE LEFT MOST IS A "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" CANCEL AT BUDAPEST, WHICH OF COURSE IS THE CAPITAL OF HUNGARY. THE SECOND CANCEL--SPECIAL FOR THE OCCASION--IDENTIFIES THE EVENT AND HAS A GRAPHIC IMAGE OF A CHESS QUEEN OVER A CHESSBOARD BACKGROUND! THE RIGHT PAGE HAS AN IMPERFORATED HUNGARIAN STAMP WITH A SIMILAR CANCELLATION. FINALLY THE SIX MEMBERS OF THE HUNGARIAN TEAM HAVE AUTOGRAPHED THE TOP OF THE INSIDE PAGES, 3 ON EACH SIDE. WHAT A WONDERFUL COMMEMORATIVE ITEM FOR THE HISTORIC CHESS EVENT!!! GOOD LUCK & THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!!
