Hi Scott:

The correct envelope that the Helmar Stamps came in are the ones with the slogan: "Philately The Popular European Rage." Frequently, EBAY sellers attempt to sell a generic Helmar glassine envelope which is bogus. See page 97 in Lew Lipset's Volume 3 for a picture which matches the image seen in the first link posted. I happen to have 4 Helmars, and a sample envelope as well. Here's scans of three of the stamps.
