Biographical / Historical

Postal covers are envelopes or packaging materials that include an address and typically postage stamps, postmarks and other markings that denote a specific time and place of the cover. Some covers might reflect cancelled postage or items that were mailed. The collection of postal covers is part of philately. Often covers are considered collectible because they represent the first day of release of a new stamp, a unique post office location, an historic event or other significant subjects.
