On March 21, 1986, the USPS issued a set of five stamps commemorating five different fish. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover for the Bluefin Tuna. A First Day Cover is an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Seattle) on the first day of issue captioned above. In short, it's the 'birthday' of the stamp - a collectible, historic piece of postal, as well as fishing memorabilia.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) is printed on silk, surrounded by gold embossing and features a leaping tuna...a joy to catch, an even greater joy to eat!
Double matted in light blue and dark blue, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDED***
