2018 SHOW COVERS
Each year the Minnesota Stamp Expo offers three (or more) show covers tied to the show theme for that year. 2018 covers are pictured below, each with an unofficial pictorial show cancel with the show theme Celebrating the Centennial of U.S. Air Mail. For other years, see the menu to the right.
The first cachet features vintage airmail etiquette labels.
The second cachet features three classic airmail stamps from the first decade of airmail service.
The third cachet depicts a cover from the first flight of C.A.M. 9, the inaugural airmail flight from Minneapolis to Chicago in 1926.
Two additional covers were produced to commemorate the display of the C3a Inverted Jenny stamp at Minnesota Stamp Expo. The cachet features a photo of the actual copy of the stamp on display at the show. The first cover is franked with the United States Air Mail Blue Centennial stamp, and the other with the 2013 USPS $2.00 Inverted Jenny souvenir sheet stamp.
