On February 3, 1998, the USPS issued a stamp to honor the most important and influential motion picture of the early 1900's..."The Great Train Robbery." Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Washington, DC) on the first day of issue, captioned above. This stamp is one of fifteen chosen to represent the people and events of the first decade of the 20th Century. These fifteen stamps, in turn, were a part of the 150 set of stamps called Celebrate the Century, the largest, most comprehensive set of stamps ever issued by the U.S. Postal Service.
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a Gold Replica of the stamp. It's made by taking an impression off the plate that makes the stamp. The soft base metal is then coated in 22 ct. gold. The producer of this cover has also included a brief commentary about the movie, which we've included. Collectible, historic, this is a MUST-HAVE for anyone's Movie Memorabilia.
Matted in blue, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
