The cachet features a large waving American flag in red, white, and blue with bold 'USA' text above in blue, printed by GAMM Cachets (Gerry Adlman) in 1992. Three stamps are affixed: a pair of USA 03-cent Eastern Bluebird coil stamps showing the bird perched on a flowering branch, and a USA 23-cent Presorted First-Class stamp featuring the American flag with 'USA' text. The postmark is a standard circular machine cancel from Kansas City, MO dated July 21, 1992, with ZIP code 64108. The cover bears 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' printed in the address area, indicating presorted first-class mailing status.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a bold cachet of a waving American flag in red, white, and blue with 'USA' in blue text and 'Presorted First-Class' in smaller blue text. The cover is franked with two 3-cent Eastern Bluebird coil stamps and one 23-cent Presorted First-Class Flag stamp, all cancelled with a circular postmark. The postmark reads 'KANSAS CITY, MO JUL 21 1992' and includes the ZIP code '64108'. The text 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' is printed to the right of the postmark. The cover is in excellent condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
