1909-1939 U.S. Commemorative First Day Covers
Cacheted and uncacheted First Day Covers (FDC) from 1909 through 1939 (Scott 372 to 858) are listed on this page. All are in VG to excellent condition. I also have virtually every FDC from 1940 to 1995, most on premium cachets and many with interesting combos—send a list of your wants (by Scott number please).
FDCs are priced to sell fast! Prices are way under dealer prices and considerably under those in McCusker, John Jones, RKA, and Mellone auctions.
All covers will be sent by first class or Priority Mail. You, the buyer, pay only the exact postage plus 50c per order for packaging and handling.
To make sure you get what you want, you can e-mail me at SwapMeetDave@aol.com and I'll set aside the items you want and ship them upon receipt of your check or money order. I also accept Pay Pal (direct payment to SwapMeetDave@aol.com and add 3% + 35¢ for PayPal fee). Send your order with check or M.O. to David Ahl, 12 Indian Head Road, Morristown, NJ 07960. Thank you!
