Elvis Presley “On Stage” Cachet

Summer 2020 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 18 C2101 — Elvis Presley 1-8-93

This stamp for "The King" was a national first day of issue release and was available at all post offices across the country. Friend Hank was doing this cover in Tupelo, Mississippi while I was doing the C2102 cancel variety in Bearsville, New York. Tupelo was the hometown of Elvis and is where he grew up. My "Elvis" stamp covers sold out quite quickly. The postmark is a nice double circle with killer bars. The hand painted cachet depicts a young Elvis on stage with multi-colored spotlights. This is a very desirable Collins and rarely appears for sale.

Lot 31 C2101 — Elvis Presley — "On Stage" (1-8-93)

This hand painted cachet really captures "The King" during his prime. Colored spotlights shine behind him and highlight the essence of the Elvis magic on stage. The large new stamp has the day of issue postmark from Tupelo, Mississippi. This is a wonderful cover if you need it for your collection.
