New Mexico 100th Anniversary Stamp 1/6/12
2012 January 6
A new statehood centennial stamp is being released in Santa Fe New Mexico. Is anyone planning on attending the First Day Ceremony? If so, I'd love to get a USPS Ceremony Program for my Route 66 collection.

If you can't find anyone attending, I note that the latest Postal Bulletin has assigned Stock No. 468191* as a philatelic product entitled the "Ceremony Program" at $6.95 available from USPS Stamp Fulfillment Services.

Acronyms for long titles for what is essentially the US Post Office:

USPS = United States Postal Service (used since 1971)
SFS = Stamp Fulfillment Services (Kansas City, MO)
FDOICP = First Day of Issue Ceremony Program

(By the way, the acronym USPOD = United States Post Office Department, which referenced the US Post Office in the period prior to the 1971 name change.)

Stamperdude,

look what I got in the e-mail box this morning...


Quote:
I will be in Santa Fe on Friday and will see about getting you one of these stamps-looks like they need to be stamped with the date by the USPS but I'll check-I'll get back to you-Happy New Year--John


...this is step #1. It is nice to know that someone does care and will make an effort when asked.

Have a nice day and a good year!

Fifia
