USPS American Commemorative Collections First Day of Issue Stamp Album 1996-1997

A handsome USPS "American Commemorative Collections" hardback binder filled with First Day of Issue U.S. commemorative stamps. The album holds 78 pages spanning January 4, 1996 through December 10, 1997, each page pairing the stamps with informative text about the subject honored.

Highlights include the Mars Pathfinder $3.00 souvenir sheet issued July 4, 1997 and the 1996 Utah Statehood issue, alongside dozens of other mid-1990s commemoratives. All stamps are mint, never hinged and present in excellent condition.

Kept in climate-controlled storage for nearly 30 years, this is a ready-made collection for a philatelist or a great starting point for someone building a modern U.S. commemorative run.
