This is a USPS official souvenir page (not a traditional envelope FDC) on yellow card stock featuring the 1984 Santa Claus Christmas stamp (USA 20c), designed by third-grade student Danny LaBoccetta of Jamaica, New York. The stamp depicts a child's drawing of Santa Claus with a party hat, smiley face, and a sack of toys in multicolor (orange, brown, red, blue, and black), inscribed 'Season's Greetings.' The page includes detailed philatelic information about the stamp's design, production, and history. The circular postmark reads 'JAMAICA, NY / OCT 30 / 1984 / 11431' with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' printed below the affixed stamp.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a bright yellow cachet with black text describing the 1984 Santa Claus Christmas stamp designed by Danny LaBoccetta. The cachet includes two images of the stamp: a black-and-white design at the top and a colorized version at the bottom. The stamp itself shows a cheerful Santa Claus in a party hat holding a sack of toys, with 'Season's Greetings' inscribed. The postmark is a circular hand-cancellation from Jamaica, NY, dated October 30, 1984. The cover is in excellent condition with clear, legible text and vibrant colors.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
