Went ahead and did a list of the ones that I do need as well. Don't know which list is easier to use.

Yeah, Feb 29th would be the golden ticket. Not holding my breath on that one though. I didn't think I'd see a Dec 25th either, but got lucky with that one. I'd probably even pay a bounty for whoever could find one.
Very interesting thread....I also collect these.I have seen a few Feb 29 cancels but not sure they were legit. Anglobob
I googled for images of Feb-29 stamps...not too many. There is a site with lots of them on cover, but very few show fully on the stamp.
Added 3 more to the set. In the past, I wasn't actively seeking them out, just setting them aside as I came across them. Now, I'm on the hunt. First up is a Scott #65 for Feb 6th. Next is April 10th via Scott #215 posted in Washington DC. Finally, we have another Scott #215 providing the date Oct 19th, 1889 posted in New York.
you have me intrigued to find these dates in my collection, I also have a goal to find on cover Scott 295 with vintee shifts, For every state in The U.S.
The cancels get larger it seams with the more postage we use. This will cover May 1 or is it May 18 in the PM?
