ALL THE FIRST DAY COVERS THAT I SELL ARE AUTHENTIC
AND ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE.
THEY ARE EITHER COMMERCIALLY MADE OR LIMITED EDITION ADD-ON CACHETS.
AN ADD-ON CACHET IS:
"A cachet that has been added to a previously uncacheted fdc,
usually years after the FD."
Quoted from The Cachet Identifier of U.S. Cacheted First Day Covers
By Michael Mellone and Barry Newton
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ADD-ON CACHETS:
"The add-on could be hand painted, hand drawn, computer printed,
rubber stamped, glued photograph to name a few methods,
and made in very limited editon, many are one-of-a-kind."
