First Cover I Ever Purchased

I don't collect covers,so I still have this one that I purchased about 1969 at a downtown street level stamp shop in Minneapolis Minnesota for the princely sum of 25 cents,this was the first cover I ever purchased.I still remember buying this one on a Saturday morning, my brother and I took the bus downtown and partied like rock stars. The 25c in pencil is still faintly visible on the back.The picture is of the building at 608 First ave North approx 1925

Is beautiful coincidence.

Your "first" cover is to Mr and Mrs "First" in "First Avenue" ?

....I love it !

rod222, Ida know I think my first may be frist on first, not to be confused with who's on first, Ida know......, what's the guys name on second

yeah looks like Frist to me as well. But hey, they wrote funny back then anyway.

I went to a restaurant that serves
'Breakfast At Any Time.'
So I ordered French Toast

rod222 - love the Stephen Wright quote! Here's another: I went fishing with a dotted line. I caught every second fish.

My first cover was also my first stamp for my collection - 1 cent green Edward VII from Canada. I should have kept the postcard and stamp intact, but that's with 35-ish extra years of experience!
