Write a Review: My Favorite First Day of Issue Ceremony

Is the release of a postage stamp a routine happening? Not when it is accompanied by a first day of issue ceremony. Joining postal officials, government dignitaries, artists of different kinds (stamps, cachets, FDC programs) and celebrities to help christen the arrival of a new postage stamp is an interesting and exciting event.
