Philosateleian Post’s stamp celebrating The Philosateleian on FDC

This week is off to a most busy start, but I do have a couple of items sitting in my mail tray. The first of those is a first day cover bearing a copy of Philosateleian Post’s new stamp commemorating the 20th anniversary of The Philosateleian U.S. Stamp Album.

The Philosateleian stamp has some light scuffing on its left side, but I’ve seen much worse from USPS sorting equipment, so I can’t much complain about this.

The cover also received an official postmark dated January 26, the same day I mailed it. Sadly, the wavy lines part of the cancellation was omitted, which means the Boston 2026 stamp I used for postage is neither cancelled nor tied to cover, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

More to come, hopefully later this week.
