    Ally,

    Sorry! But I love FDCs!!

    A first day cover is a stamp mounted on a post card and canceled (dated) Usually to commemorate an event or person. It's only issued on the day(s) the event takes place and in limited numbers....

    A nice gift for people who collect stamps, coins or are Olympic nuts!!


    I have a fewamong my faves is one FDC from the San Francisco Baseball All Star game in the 80's and a bunch from the Rowing Comp from the 84 games.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    I don't collect them, but I order them for my post office. Right now it Pet Month, so I have pet OFDC. & have about 10 different kinds of OFDC at work. They sell the best in Jan, or when ever the new year animal comes out. This year was year of the monkey & I sold about 30-50 of them. My customers just love my OFDC. I present them quite well
