The cachet features a large reproduction of the Bob Hope commemorative stamp design printed on the left side of the plain white envelope, showing Hope in a tuxedo with bow tie against a blue background. The actual 44-cent Bob Hope stamp (Scott #4406) is affixed in the upper right corner, depicting the same portrait. The machine cancel from Ft Myers, FL dated May 29, 2009 reads 'FIRST DAY OF SALE' with ZIP 33907. The envelope reverse bears the promotional text 'Collect U.S. Commemoratives / They're FUN / They're HISTORY / They're AMERICA' in red and blue decorative script.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features a 44-cent Bob Hope commemorative stamp (Scott #4406) with a portrait of Hope in a tuxedo against a blue background. The stamp is cancelled with a machine postmark from Fort Myers, FL, dated May 29, 2009, reading 'FIRST DAY OF SALE.' The envelope has no visible cachet artwork on the front, and the reverse displays promotional text in red and blue script: 'Collect U.S. Commemoratives / They're FUN / They're HISTORY / They're AMERICA.' The cover is in excellent condition with clear postmark and stamp details.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
