Ecuador First Day Cover

First Day Covers

Collecting Ecuador First Day Covers is another format to start your collection. These envelopes are stamped when the first day of emissions are announced by the postal service. Some first day covers are colorful and display some neat markings of the cancellation stamp.

To preserve the longevity of the envelope, a good storing technique must be considered.  Start by housing the envelopes in non-pvc clear plastic sleeve.  These types of sleeves are sold at your local Coin-Stamp shop.  You can also obtain them from Photo Service stores, which is where I prefer to buy them.
