This First Day Cover features a 29-cent Elvis Presley stamp from the Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues Musicians series, with a vibrant illustration of a young Elvis in a yellow shirt. The cachet artwork includes a blue line-art depiction of a performer with a microphone on the left side, complementing the stamp. The cover has two special cancellations: a circular pictorial postmark reading 'Rock & Roll / Rhythm & Blues' and a machine cancel with a guitar illustration labeled 'First Day of Issue / Celebrations.' The postmarks originate from Cleveland, OH and Santa Monica, CA, dated June 16, 1993.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
