These are contents of the following:


a.  Corner Cards in this section


b.  Cachet corner card covers in the Levy Cachet Cover Print Catalog.


c.  Corner cards in the Online "Additions" section


d.  Corner cards in the Online "Volume III" section


The envelopes - or covers - they came in are referenced.



Wheras "Inserts" are generally created specifically for the cachet cover they are inserted in,   and are thus secondary in nature,   here the contents themselves are primary and the envelopes they were mailed in also are collectable covers.
