WTB-DC HEROES SD FIRST DAY STAMPS

[shadroch]

I've seen the sets advertised at a "discounted" price of $65. Anyone see any better deals yet?

Anyone who hasn't seen them ,go to www.unicover.com/comics.htm

But I think we can find better deals elsewhere.

I'm almost certain that when it comes closer to the actual release date (late July IIRC) the USPS should have a link for anyone to get this.

The stamps are,but are the First Day covers and the sheet depited?I know nothing but stamps.

The covers that are shown in your first link are not USPS "official" covers. They appear to be manufactured specifically for this event.

 

If you want your own covers, here's how to do it, courtesy of the USPS:

 

How to Order First Day of Issue Postmarks and

Covers

Customers may purchase new stamps or postal stationery

items at their Post Office, from the USA Philatelic catalog,

by calling 800-STAMP-24, or online at www.usps.com

by clicking on Buy Stamps & Shop. Then they should

prepare their own covers by affixing new stamps to the

upper-right corner of envelopes or postcards of their choice,

and address those envelopes, postcards, or postal

stationery items to themselves or others. (Postage must

equal the current First-Class Mail rate.) For sturdiness, include

a card of postcard thickness in each cover (envelopes

only) submitted, and tuck in the flap. Place the cover

in a larger envelope addressed to:

 

NAME OF ISSUE

POSTMASTER

CITY STATE ZIP CODE (followed by -9991)

 

Covers submitted for first day of issue postmarks may

include additional uncanceled stamps only if the uncanceled

stamps were issued before the first day of issue of

the new stamps or postal stationery items. All orders must

be postmarked on or before the deadline indicated in the

“2006 Stamps and Postal Stationery” announcement on

pages 44- 46.

I think what this comes down to is: If you are in SD for the convention, you'll stand a good chance of getting some kind of special USPS event cover (similar to the Superman sheets that were available a few years ago). Otherwise, I guess you're gonna have to pay for something special...

 

I get regular updates of the Postal Bulletin, so I can let you know when somethign official is posted.

 

Hope that helps!
