Philippine First Day Covers for Topical and Thematic Stamp Collecting
Philippine first day covers are philatelic items that are issued, officially, by the post office. These are special envelopes designed for postage use. They have a stamp or souvenir sheet that is postmarked with the first day of issue cancellation. These special envelopes are collector’s item.
In philately, first day covers (FDC) are collected as materials for country collection or as materials for topical and thematic stamp collection. Many of these first day covers have interesting topics on them. Airplanes, balloons, birds, cars, fish, flowers, famous men and women, cats, Christmas, Jesus Christ, whales and dolphins, conservation: these are just some of the topics that one can see on first day covers. And that is the main reason why they are topical and thematic stamp collecting materials.
The most important part of a first day cover is the area where the stamp is affixed and cancelled with the first day of issue cancellation. This portion of the first day cover is often used for competitive philatelic exhibition, but the whole envelope itself can be displayed for competitive exhibition. More often, whole first day covers are kept as collection for personal enjoyment. To learn more about these philatelic, click the links provided below. Enjoy your time reading and viewing.
(Note: In this article and on this online exhibit, each philatelic item has an information note. Each note provides information highly related to the item, and these are: primary topic, secondary topic(s), date of issue and main part of the first day cover.)
