This First Day Cover features a 25-cent self-adhesive booklet stamp with an eagle design (Scott #2431). The cachet artwork, designed by Jean Nicklin (JN Cachets), includes the text 'INDIANAPOLIS NOV 13 1989' and 'INDY IS HOOSIER HOSPITALITY THE ALL AMERICAN CITY' with an illustration of an open-wheel race car. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation shaped like the state of Indiana, with 'POSTIQUE INDIANA 46206' and the date 'NOV 13 1989.' The cover also includes printed text describing the stamp's test market distribution. The condition appears to be very fine, with clear and legible details.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
