Default Americover Seeks Exhibits

EXHIBITS SOUGHT FOR AMERICOVER 2007
Prospectus Now Available On Web Site Or By Mail

Exhibits are now being sought for Americover 2007, the American First
Day Cover Society's annual convention and FDC show, which will be held
Aug. 17-19 in Stamford, Conn.

Americover is a World Series of Philately show sanctioned by the
American Philatelic Society, and its Grand Award winner is eligible to
compete in the Champion of Champions exhibition the following summer.

"Having FDCs exhibits now a part of the C of C has elevated FDC
exhibiting to the same level as Postal History or Aerophilately," said
Andrew McFarlane, Americover 2005 Grand Award winner and the first
exhibitor to represent Americover at Stampshow.

The Americover 2007 prospectus and exhibit application may be
downloaded from the AFDCS Web site, www.afdcs.org, or requested by
mail from Norman Elrod, 641 Dogwood Trail, McMinnville, TN 37110-3015,
or e-mail at . A business-size self-addressed
stamped envelope would be appreciated.

The emphasis at Americover is on First Day Cover exhibits, and about
three-fourths of each exhibit should consist of FDCs. All three
divisions (Postal, Illustrated Mail and Display) of the General class
of exhibits will be accepted, as well as One-Frame and Youth exhibits.

In addition to the standard WSP exhibit awards and the Grand Award,
the AFDCS offers special awards for research, foreign FDCs,
single-frame, topical FDCs, and novice collectors, among others, and
several other philatelic societies will make their awards available to
Americover exhibitors, including the APS and the American Association
of Philatelic Exhibitors.

A total of 160 frames are available on a first-come first-served
basis. AFDCS membership is not required to exhibit. The deadline for
entering the Americover 2007 exhibition is June 15, 2007, or whenever
the available frames fill up.

"Winning the Grand at Americover was the highlight of my exhibiting
experience to date," said McFarlane.

In addition to the exhibition, Americover 2007 features a commercial
bourse, a cachetmakers' bourse, a banquet, an informal auction, a tour
before the show, a dinner event on Sunday evening, meetings and
seminars, and a hospitality suite. A U.S. first-day ceremony is
likely, too.

Once again, the AFDCS has held the Americover room-rate under $100 a
night at the show hotel, the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa in downtown
Stamford. The site is convenient to trains and buses, and just 13
miles from the White Plains, NY, airport ("HPN").

For more information on Americover 2007, visit the AFDCS Web site,
