The cachet features a black-and-white photographic portrait of Elvis Presley in his early years, wearing a patterned jacket, with his birth and death dates 'Jan. 8, 1935 - Aug. 16, 1977' below. The cachet artwork also includes an illustrated brick wall design (likely representing Graceland's gate) with musical notes and guitar motifs. The stamp is the 29-cent Elvis Presley commemorative (USA, 1993) depicting a colorful portrait of young Elvis holding a microphone against a pink/purple background, labeled 'ROCK & ROLL SINGER, 1935-1977.' The postmark reads 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE / January 8, 1993 • Memphis, TN 38101' in printed text rather than a traditional cancellation.
Mistral
The cachet features a black-and-white photographic portrait of Elvis Presley in a patterned jacket, with his birth and death dates (Jan. 8, 1935 - Aug. 16, 1977) and a trademark notice. The design includes a brick wall motif resembling Graceland's gate, adorned with musical notes and guitar symbols. The stamp is a 29-cent commemorative issue with a colorful portrait of Elvis, labeled 'ELVIS' and 'USA'. The postmark is a printed first-day-of-issue cancellation with the date January 8, 1993, and location Memphis, TN 38101. The cover is in clean, unused condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
