Royal Military College, Australia

A prepaid envelope from 1986 commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Australia Royal Military College. The 33c stamp that is postmarked with a FD postmark dated 27 June 1986 is printed on the envelope. It would be more enjoyable if the other stamps had been postmarked but there's something else I don't like about it. Three of the four stamps on this envelope appear to be have been previously used. They were removed from another envelope and glued to this one. 

I don't know why it bothers me. The cover looks fine. It's interesting. But somehow it just doesn't seem right. If you have to reuse stamps, do it to mail a phone bill or a Christmas card. Please avoid doing it on mail you're sending to a stamp collector.
