Commemorative Cover: 10-10-10 - Contest!

            The first person who identifies all 19 symbols on this envelope will receive a similar cover commemorating October 10, 2010, addressed to the winner.

This piece is not complete. It still needs to go through the mail system to cancel the stamps. I will post here the finished project when I receive it. Unfortunately I can not guarantee a cancel date of 10/10/10, but I have some ideas, and I'll see what I can do.

I collected stamps when I was a kid (as did my brother, father, and grandfather), and I still have a fascination with these tiny pieces of paper, and their path through society. I have been making commemorative covers for 10 years, and decided that since there is a 10-10-10 group on Flickr that it might be time to share.
