    I have a four-frame exhibit of the U.S. Prevent Drug Abuse Stamp (Scott 1438), its uses and First Day Covers. I am always looking for different and interesting items that would fit into my exhibit.

    Here is an example of one of the more interesting covers in my exhibit. View attachment 1516

    Thanks! The type of things I'm looking for include the following:

    Cacheted FDCs​
    FDCs mailed to unusual destinations or with unusual markings​
    Maxicards​
    Unofficial FDCs (postmarked October 4, 1971​
    Proofs and essays of cachets for this issue​
    FDCs with Cachet errors​
    Official announcements regarding the stamp​
    Official and unofficial souvenir pages​
    Commercial and other non-FDC uses of the stamp on cover, especially to unusual destinations or with unusual markings​

    I have scanned the current version of the exhibit (I am working on making it five frames) and hope to have it on my website before too long.

    Here's one I've been looking for. Not a Prevent Drug Abuse FDC, but a Hideaki Nakano FDC for a later issue that uses the Prevent Drug Abuse stamp to make a point.
