The American First Day Cover Society (AFDCS) is a volunteer non-profit and non-commerical organization serving the needs of First Day Cover collectors, cachetmakers, and dealers. Founded in 1955, the society now has a membership of nearly 3,000 active first day cover collectors, including hundreds of collectors who design and manufacture their own cacheted FDCs.

The AFDCS holds a national annual convention, Americover, maintains a historical archive, and publishes a journal, First Days full of news and education every six weeks (eight issues a year). There are many benefits to membership, including our Member Mentor Program, Estate Planning, Court of Honor FDCs, Tax Deductions, Fund Raising Auction and discounts on our many informative Handbooks. This is all available to you for the very modest membership dues of $30 per year ($40 per year for non-US residents), $15 for age 17 and under, (in either case, postage requires $8 additional for non-U.S. addresses). Come Join Us.
