Event covers by their very nature are
limited editions. The dated postmarks (also called cancellations) can
never be repeated. The collectibility of covers is further enhanced by the
special artwork (cachet) on the envelope. The artwork can take many forms,
from "silk" and every other type of printing, to hand painted
one-of-a-kind works of art.Photo File event covers are printed with a
color image and text describing an MLB, NFL or NHL event. The image is
most often a photograph, taken from Photo File's extensive collection,
which depicts the actual moment of the event, such as Mark McGwire's 70th
home run swing. These event covers so dramatically capture a historic
event that many collectors use them to collect autographs, thus making the
cover and autograph even more collectible.
Event covers can form the basis of larger
collectibles. For example, Photo File mounts event covers and photos on a
frameable mat to create a handsome combination of these two collectibles.
Each cover and photo in every matted piece is related and tells a story,
e.g., the 1998 World Series, Mark McGwire's 70 home runs, or John Elway's
300th TD.
Event covers are sports history! What is
more collectible than an item that was actually postmarked in the city and
on the date of a memorable sports event?
