First Day Covers are fascinating collectors' items. As you can well imagine, the combination of a historic stamp, cancelled on the first day of issue at an officially designated post office on a specially designed envelope, results in a collec tor's item of the first order. One that has been prized by collectors like Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall and Franklin D. Roosevelt, plus others with the foresight to preserve yester day and today for tomorrow. The best time to obtain these prized collectors' items is when they are issued. This is now made easier than ever by the Postal Commemorative Society. Postal Commemorative Society members receive everything they need to build and maintain a personal ized "mint condition" collection of U.S. First Day Covers. For each cover issued, the Society provides an exclusive custom designed display page, especially made for the member's personalized album. © POSTAL COMMEMORATIVE SOCIETY (a division of MBI INC.)
