DORIS GOLD FDCs
Current cachet designs are reproduced in full color from hand-drawn and hand-painted artwork.
- Envelopes are hand-crafted.
- Most designs are montages consisting of different aspects of the subject being honored, giving more insight into the stamp issue.
- Members are kept informed with Newsletters which accompany each shipment. Informative inserts are enclosed with current covers giving added information (starting in 1997).
- A "Touch of Gold" (a gold dot) is applied by hand and signed by the artist.
Due to the limited number of FDCs we produce, many of our recent issues have escalated in price or SOLD OUT. To be assured of receiving your new issues as they are released (at discounted prices), sign up now for our subscription service.
