Here are 2 first day covers that I own.
A first day cover (FDC) is an envelope whereupon postage stamps have been cancelled on their first day of issue. Depending on the policy of the nation issuing the stamp, official first day postmarks may sometimes be applied to covers weeks or months after the date indicated.
The first covercommemorates Picasso's genius by offering a 21 c stamp celebrating the United Ntions International School, 1971.
The second cover commemorates the non-proliferation of nuclear arms, 1972
Certainly not as interesting or colorful as these stamps:
Liberia Historical Railways 1895-1905

Ooo I've not heard of First Day Covers since my Dad's more lucid days. Thank you.
Cheers
Those are very cool. When I was a kid I had a lil stamp collection, I wanted to be like my big brother. (He is a big collector now, spending big bucks) anyways, I have 2 first day covers...lol I bought them way back in the day, I still have them. No idea if they're even worth anything.
Very nice and very interesting. It must be hard to keep them in such good condition.
Those are just wonderful. I especially love the train stamps. My husband LOVES trains. (grin) Happy PFF!
WOW!!! These are really cool, thanks for sharing with us.

I'm definitely starting to wish I had held on to my father's FDC collection, but I'm finding it time-consuming enough continuing his postcard collection.
Those stamps are kinda cool. Thanks for sharing!
Great pieces. I have been collecting first days for a number of years. These are lovely
