The cachet features a black-and-white photographic portrait of Elvis Presley in a dark jacket, with his name printed in bold black text above and his birth/death dates 'Jan. 8, 1935 - Aug. 16, 1977' below. The cover bears a plate block of four 29-cent Elvis stamps (Scott #2721) featuring a colorful image of young Elvis in a gold jacket holding a microphone against a pink/purple background. The postmark appears to be a circular red cancellation applied somewhat sloppily across the block, partially obscuring stamp details. The plate block margin shows plate numbers '2222' in the right selvage, and the cachet maker '3-B Cachets' is noted at the bottom left.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a block of four 29-cent Elvis Presley commemorative stamps (Scott #2721) with vibrant artwork of a young Elvis in a gold jacket holding a microphone. The cachet on the left displays a black-and-white photographic portrait of Elvis, with his name and lifespan dates (Jan. 8, 1935 - Aug. 16, 1977) printed below. The postmark is a red circular cancellation, but specific details are not clearly visible. The cover is in excellent condition, with a visible plate number (2222) in the selvage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
