Suitable for chronological and thematic FDC collections and easy to organise in FDC albums and stock sheets
Dutch First Day Covers (FDCs) are official postal issues on which the corresponding postage stamps are cancelled on the day of issue. Within philately, FDCs are valued for their careful presentation, historical context and direct connection to the moment a stamp is officially released.
FDCs form a clearly defined and well-structured collecting area within Dutch philately. Thanks to their fixed format, consistent issue structure and clear link to specific issue dates, they are easy to follow and organise, making them particularly attractive to collectors who value order and coherence.
Dutch First Day Covers are suitable for both chronological collections and thematic or issue-based collections. The combination of subject, stamp and date allows collectors to build and deepen their collection in a focused manner, documenting both historical developments and specific themes in a clear and structured way.
By combining stamp, envelope and first day cancellation, FDCs capture a specific postal moment. As official postal issues, they are collected and catalogued separately, making them suitable for both beginning collectors and advanced philatelists looking to expand, structure or further refine their collection.
