Based on recent comparables: similar items being listed from around £3 to £6. For example a 1979 “Dogs” FDC sold for about £4.30. A higher price (up to ~£30) appears when signed by the designer.

Given your cover is addressed (which can reduce value compared to unaddressed) and assuming normal condition, a fair valuation would be £5-£8.

Seller Notes / Tips:

Include clear photos of both front and reverse of the cover, the cancellation mark and condition details (creases, any toning, address, etc.).

Mention shipping cost, packaging precautions (to protect stamps/envelope) and that it will be well-packaged.

Consider offering international shipping if you’re willing (collectors overseas might be interested).

Good titles and keywords help: include “FDC”, “First Day Cover”, “Great Britain”, “Dogs”, “1979”.

Specifying “addressed” is useful — it is less ideal than unaddressed, which is good to manage buyer expectations.
