LPD Cachets First Day Covers 2016 - 2021

1998 - 2002
2003 - 2009
Not sure why I started thinking about creating FDCs again after an eight year hiatus (probably something I read in AFDCS's First Days magazine!). And I am not sure why I didn't continue after the Soda Fountain Favorites one, but I have now retired and decided to try again. In one sense, it will be much easier to create the kind of local unofficial covers I gravity towards since all stamps are now released on the first day nationwide, but the current pandemic really reduces the available pictorial postmarks as well as my desire to travel to various post offices. 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.
