"Titanic".......
On May 2, 2000, the USPS issued a set of 15 stamps to commemorate the decade of the 1990's. This set joined with the other 9 decades and formed the 150 stamp set called Celebrate the Century. After an elaborate voting process, the 15 stamps representing the 1990's were selected - one of which is shown here on this remarkable First Day Cover. The movie Titanic broke all box office records and won 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
A First Day Cover is an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (in this case Escondido, Ca.) on the first day of issue, captioned above. In short, it's the "birthday" of the stamp - collectible, historic, a great addition to your wall.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the poster from the movie - Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet with the bow of the ship. It's printed on silk, the luster lending an almost three-dimensional quality to the picture.
Double Matted in blue & white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
