FDCs of Americover '97
(Click Any Image for a Hi-Resolution View)

Cachetmaker Andrew Doback (ColorCopy) serviced this FDC
with both the January 1997 versions of the workhorse Flag Over Porch and
Jukebox coils and the linerless versions -- each with their own First Day of
Issue cancels.

| Herb Barre of Temperance, Michigan, won the 1996 American
First Day Cover Society Cachetmakers Contest Awards for Best Printed One-Color Cachet as
well as Best Rookie. Here's his Big Bandleaders FDC. |

ColorCopy created these FDCs as the name implies: They're color
photocopies, cut and pasted into envelopes. The illustration used as the
cachet comes from the back of the sheets of Bugs Bunny stamps. Cachetmaker
Andrew Doback peeled off the backing and affixed the entire "collectible
card" from the sheet to the FDCs.

| This S&T Cachets first day cover for the Yellow
Rose self-adhesive coil was computer- printed from an old picture, then
painstakingly hand-colored. One of the best seen at AMERICOVER '97's
Cachetmakers Bourse for this issue, in our opinion. |

The incredible
Hideaki Nakano disassembled a Liberty Bell stamped envelope and refolded it
into a true Liberty Bell before having the first day cancellation applied.
Shown here are front and back views.
