Item Description

Collect a 1996 Doc Cheatham Commemorative Postal Cachet.  This Armstrong sideman finally made a name for himself when in his 70's and earned his first Grammy in his late 80's.  This cachet features hot pink foil printing a trumpet cancellation and a Louis Armstrong stamp along with a detailed pen and ink collage.  Total production:  2500.

The U.S. Post Office issues specialized commemoratives for important cultural contributions that are uniquely American.  In 1989 the Post Office issued its first Jazz Fest cachet and has issued one every year since, each one featuring a New Orleans jazz artist.  The cachets are highly sought after, and the value as collectable and framed piece increases every year.  Cachets are preserved through a cardboard insert to keep them rigid, and a clear cover to keep out moisture.
