Please note that the only actual stamp on the card is the one postmarked at the top of the front surrounded by a border. Other stamps appearing on the front and/or reverse are printed on the card.
A sort of ‘half way house’ between first day covers and business customised stamp sheets, these A4 designs are printed digitally on high quality card and look stunning.
Each has a stamp (from a new set) franked with a special first day of issue postmark.
They are printed on both sides and often show reproductions of earlier stamps relevant to theme of the card issue.
