Joseph Bianchini, from Yardley PA, was a First Day Cover Cachet Maker, as well as a cover collector and enthusiast. As a person very interested in the current state of US political affairs, Joe produced these topical covers for a few years in the early 2000's. They were a series of mostly one-of-a-kind covers created primarily for his personal collection. The covers were hand prepared and folded using as cachets or artwork a variety of source material from newspaper comic strips and political cartoons taken from the Op-Ed pages of several different in-print sources.Topics range widely for what was going on at the time, but these political and social times were very well reflected and encapsulated on the covers during this time of world terrorism, 9/11, finance, military, politics, and scandals. Printing methods seemed to have varied from copying to computer printed or scanned.These black and white covers were produced in a variety of different sizes and were mostly cancelled locally at his home town Post Office of Yardley, PA 19067. We purchased Joe's estate, and are now offering these special covers to collectors and topicalists who wish to add these unique covers to their collections.
