The cachet features a black vinyl record illustration on the left side with 'Elvis Presley' printed in bold text above it, and 'TECHNICAL•FDOI' printed below. The 29-cent US stamp depicts Elvis Presley as a young rock and roll singer against a pink/magenta background, holding a microphone, with 'ELVIS' and 'ROCKY ROLL SINGER 1935-1977' printed on the stamp. The postmark is a standard machine cancel from Indianapolis, IN 462, dated 03 JAN 1993, which appears to be an unofficial first day cancellation rather than the official Memphis cancellation. The cover is unaddressed and in good condition.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a minimalist cachet design with a black vinyl record on a plain background in the center-left, with the text 'Elvis Presley' printed above it. The stamp, affixed to the upper right corner, is a 29-cent issue depicting a young Elvis Presley in color, holding a microphone, with 'ELVIS' printed at the bottom. The postmark is a circular cancellation with the text 'INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46202' and the date '03 JAN 1993', indicating an unofficial first day of issue. The cover is in clean condition with no visible damage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
