IN 1993, THE USPS ISSUED A SET OF FOUR STAMPS COMMEMORATING EVENTS OF THE 1980 OLYMPICS WHICH WERE HELD IN LOS ANGELES. SHOWN HERE IS A GENUINE FIRST DAY COVER CELEBRATING EQUESTRIAN EVENTS. THIS UNADDRESSED (ALWAYS PREFERABLE SINCE IT ADDS VALUE TO THE COVER) ENVELOPE FEATURES THE NEW STAMP CANCELLED FROM THE CITY OF ISSUE (LOS ANGELES) ON THE BIRTHDAY OF THE STAMP (SEPTEMBER 28, 1979.)
THE FULL-COLOR CACHET (ARTWORK ON THE ENVELOPE) FEATURES A FULL-COLOR DRAWING OF RIDERS PARTICIPATING IN THE GRAND PRIX EVENTS. COLLECTIBLE, HISTORIC, THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF EQUESTRIAN MEMORABILIA.
DOUBLE MATTED IN BLUE AND WHITE, IT'S SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 8 X 10 FRAME. *** CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDED plus a short blurb on Equestrian Events***
