Collins Cover Announcement 

Christmas Wildlife - 2002

"Where Buffalo Roam"

In 1988, I began a series of Christmas First Day Covers that have become very popular with my collectors, and the concept is unique to Collins covers. On my Christmas Wildlife series, I use one each of the new traditional and contemporary Christmas stamps. For the cachet, I choose a species of North American wildlife and put that animal in a winter setting. The combination has resulted in a wonderful, ongoing Christmas/Wildlife series of Collins FDCs.

This year, the featured animal is the mighty bison found in Yellowstone National Park. The snowcovered ground and trees provide a great setting for the huge, shaggy beasts. A stream runs unfrozen due to the park's famous hot springs. A brightly colored border frames this beautiful scene from nature. I'm pleased to present "Where Buffalo Roam" - Collins #P3601 - $12.75.
