LPD Cachets First Day Covers 2003 - 2009

1998 - 2002
2003 - 2009
2016 - 2022 
During these years, I settled on a style and format for most of my covers. I tried to focus only on those stamps where I could find a local (i.e., New England) connection or where I found an interesting relationship between stamps. However, as the decade came to a close, my real life started to interfere with creating FDCs and I, frustratingly, ended up with several dual covers that I never ended up finishing either due to timing issues with getting pictorial postmarks or my own busy schedule. In fact, after a couple of covers in January 2009, I didn't produce another until 2016! Sometimes, I created multiple cachets for a stamp. In these cases, I have used either multiple photos, a Gallery view, or a Slider view (when I have additional text per cover). In all cases, you can click to see an enlarged photo of the FDC. If you have any questions or would like to see a larger photo, please email me at: LPD Cachets.
