Market For such a small state, New Jersey present surprisingly complex market factors. Most states the size of New Jersey have collectors chasing the entire state. However, New Jersey is collected by county. The most popular counties are Cape May and Sussex. In general, the northern counties and southern counties do best.
Little interest is shown in the central part of the state.
The nadir is Monmouth county. As with almost every eastern and mid western states, collectors prefer 19th century covers. Last years comments are just as apt this year. I figured the percentage of covers I have sold as compared to the total of the covers sold and the covers available. Since some of the New Jersey covers I sell are not sold to New Jersey collectors, I decided to eliminate flags and doanes from the total of covers sold.
