It's A First Day Cover Featuring
Iron Man!
Last Friday night Tina and I attended the May 2nd 2008 Iron Man Film Screening which we have blogged about with a review or two before, LOL!
Yesterday I was going through our many boxes of items still to list, finding a GI JOE DOG TAG that we listed last night, and a couple of first day covers that were issued at a Special USPS Program at the SDCC 2007!
What's a First Day Cover you ask?
Well it's the first day of issue for a USPS postage stamp, and when that stamp is applied to an envelope and specially cancelled at wherever the official program is, that ends up with a 1st Day Cover!
In this case we have one for Iron Man that the USPS and Marvel Entertainment collaborated on! Take a look at the top right for the photo or the actual listing at: FIRST DAY COVER !
Years ago while I was a young kid, my dad had a great coin collection. Not wanting to compete with his, I started a world-wide stamp collection basically from cancelled stamps.
I then realized that I could never collect all the world's stamps and decided to collect USA stamps and bought new stamps as they came out. Back in 1969 San Diego celebrated its' 200th Anniversary and that's when I discovered what First (1st) Day Covers were as my dad and I attended that special USPS program!
I still have that stamp collection, and one day we may start selling that here... in the meantime here's the special Iron Man listing again: FIRST DAY COVER !
For those of you that are new to our blog, we have an ongoing comics and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!
