The text '$9.95 Express Mail' appears in red lettering with '1991' at lower left, and 'GAMM 1991' printed in small red text at bottom. The stamp is the $9.95 USA Express Mail bald eagle stamp (Scott C#) on a red background featuring the Olympic rings, tied by a circular hand cancel from Birds Landing, CA.

The cachet features a bold blue bald eagle in flight against a full moon, with flowing red ribbon streamers and the text '1991' and '$9.95 Express Mail' in red. The stamp depicts a white-headed eagle on a red background with Olympic rings and '$9.95 USA' in white. The postmark is circular with 'BIRDS LANDING, CA' and 'JUN 16 1991,' featuring a small pictorial element. The envelope is in pristine condition with clear, vibrant colors and minimal wear.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
