To commemorate the 2nd annual NASA Glenn/collectSPACE.com space memorabilia show, the United States Postal Service will feature a special pictorial stamp cancellation. The pictorial cancellation stamp event take place on June 17, 2006, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Cleveland U. S. Postal Service will set up a temporary post office on site in the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, in Cleveland, Ohio. The temporary post office will be selling current postage stamps of the Lady Liberty & United States Flag, Lunar New Year, X-planes (Priority & Express Mail) and others. The NASA Glenn Visitor Center will have envelopes with a Cachet commemorating the 2nd Annual NASA Glenn/collectSPACE.com space memorabilia show. The Cachet, to be offered only during the day of the event, will consist of images of representative space memorabilia. The Pictorial Cancellation Stamp is the ink stamp that cancels the postage stamp. The Pictorial Cancellation Stamp can be applied to any object as long as it has a current postage stamp on the object. Those who cannot attend the event, but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit mail order requests. Pictorial cancellations are available only for the date indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial cancellation date. All requests must include a stamped envelope or postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail postage. Items submitted for cancellation may not include postage issued after the date of the requested cancellation. Such items will be returned un-serviced. Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others, insert a card of postcard thickness in the envelopes for sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: quote:
