Was there a USPS Store item number available for the FDC because there is no mention of a FDC in the catalog (nor of a press sheet). I did a search at the USPS web-site but there was nothing noted there. Did I miss it (them)????
No, you haven't missed them. They just haven't been posted/published yet. The mention of the FDC and Press Sheet was included in a Linn's Stamp News article which quoted USPS Spokesperson Mark Saunders, in part, as follows:
Quote:
Saunders confirmed, however, that press sheets will be sold for the Circus souvenir sheet, stating the "Circus souvenir sheet will have press sheets, but details on the quantity and whether or not they will be die-cut are pending."
Uncacheted first-day covers of the $2 souvenir sheet will also be sold. It is expected there will be two FDC varieties: one with the standard black ink cancel and the other with a digital color postmark.
