First day covers


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

This being my first post to here. I have a slight problem with adding First day covers to the SM 2024 USA.  I do not know, or understand if it is truly possable to do so.

example: I try to add a FDC to SM, when I do, it does not add it to the folder First Day Covers.  Also, I have found when I try to add a FDC Scott number say 2390-93 FDC. it reverts back to the general stamps area.  or goes blank, when I fill out all the Additional information section. it comes up with an error. and does not add it.  I am stumped...

If I may also sugguest that in updates or maybe a complete program dedicated to First Day Covers.  I do realize that there is not many people who do collect them, or have fallen out of "style" to collect them. There are those like myself who do, and not just recent ones, but as far back as I can collect them.  

If it is a problem I am having adding them, then can someone explain it to me? or if it is not allowed to add them, I wish to make it a request in any updates, or future issues of the program itself.

Thanks,  Ray

Hi, we have a video that explains how to enter First Day Covers.  We do not have a separate FDC database that would let you add FDCs with multiple stamps for example.  If you have more questions after this video please post them on this thread.

DIdn't actually help much.  That stuff I already knew about.  In the actual atachment, it shows a folder on the left called First Day Covers. How I dot it to do that. I honestly do not know, Also how I added one, is even a larger clueless brain function of mine.  I would Love to add All the FDC into that folder, as to keep it seperated from general postage, because in fact, it is.  Just like you have the options of post cards, and stationary as seperated from general issue.

That is where I am stumped, How to actually be able to get it into said folder ""First Day Covers""  

Thanks in Advance,
Ray

If I am hearing this correctly, I have to give each first day issue a special name.  Because I have tried to do it, and the program willl not accept what I am trying to input.  Actually when I try it,  it crashes the program.  Thankfully I keep backing up before I try to do it.  So in all honesty, this does not help.  

I have attached 2 screenshots I get when I try to add a stamp into the new catagory.  so either I am nolt doing it correctly, or the SM24 is corrupted.  

Ill have to add another post to get the 2nd screen shot, because the forum is limited to 114kb in size
