The cachet features a stipple-dot illustration of a runner in mid-stride, printed in dark ink on white envelope stock, accompanied by the text '1993 World University Games' in dark red and 'Buffalo, New York, USA' and 'TECHNICAL Cachets' below. The 29-cent stamp depicts colorful silhouetted runners with a star motif and reads 'World University Games Buffalo '93.' The postmark is a circular machine cancel from Buffalo, NY dated February 25, 1993, with a 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' slogan cancel in the killer bars.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features cachet artwork depicting a stylized runner in motion, created using a stipple-dot technique. The colorful 29-cent stamp shows silhouetted athletes and a star, symbolizing the World University Games. The circular postmark is clearly dated February 25, 1993, from Buffalo, NY, with a 'First Day of Issue' slogan. The envelope is in excellent condition with clean, legible text and artwork.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
