Want first-day covers for Canada Post’s Star Trek stamps? Here’s how!

By Lloyd de Vries

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the beloved television series Star Trek . Both the United States and Canada are issuing stamps to mark the occasion: the U.S. Postal Service’s stamps are expected sometime around Sept. 8, the anniversary of the first broadcast in 1966, and Canada Post’s set was issued May 5.

Many first-day cover collectors may prefer the Canada Post designs and would like to service their own FDCs with the stamps.

Although Canada Post produces its own cacheted covers, it is possible for individuals to submit their own covers.

However, there are some notable differences from how the USPS services customers’ own FDCs.

Like the USPS, Canada Post gives collectors (servicers) a 60-day grace period after the date of issue, and sufficient postage must be affixed to meet current mailing rates. If the FDCs are being returned in another envelope, that means the first-class domestic rate. If the FDCs are being mailed individually, then the current rates prevail.

All FDCs for servicing by Canada Post, however, must be submitted to the FDC canceling unit at the National Philatelic Center, 1-133 Church St., Antigonish, NS B2G 2R8, Canada, and not to the first-day cities. The street address recently changed, so if you have sent cachets previously to Canada Post for servicing, be sure to note the new address.

There is a charge for each cancellation: 15¢ if the stamp or stamps are already affixed, 20¢ if the stamp or stamps need to be affixed (plus the cost of the stamps). Canada Post will even supply an uncacheted envelope for 25¢ plus the price of the stamps. Several sizes of envelopes are available, too.

Canada Post will not cancel covers that “bear foreign postage or previous cancellations.” That means no combination FDCs with another country’s stamps, such as the 1999 U.S. Star Trek stamp (Scott 3188e).

Earlier Canadian stamps, however, are acceptable for combination covers.

A dual-canceled U.S./Canada FDC is possible, if the Canadian stamps and cancel are applied first.

That will be easy to do, with several months between the release of the Canada and the U.S. Star Trek stamps, but some planning that takes advantage of the 60-day grace period will be required if you try to make a combo FDC when the U.S. stamp is being issued first or on the same day.

Canada strongly prefers that its stamps be in the traditional upper-right corner of the envelope.

As I’ve already mentioned, Canada Post produces its own cacheted FDCs, and they are quite attractive. Amateur cachetmakers intending their FDCs for sale will be competing against Canada Post’s professionals. Also, the “OFDCs” (official first-day covers) as they’re called, often have cancellation varieties that are not available to private servicers.

The gold postmark for the 2016 No. 2 Construction Battalion stamp (Scott 2895, issued Feb. 2) was available only on the OFDC, as shown here. These special covers are produced and serviced by another unit of Canada Post.

There is no minimum number of covers that must be submitted for servicing, and no difference in procedures between dealers and individuals. All orders must be paid by credit card, which takes care of currency conversion. Currently, the exchange rate is about $1 Canadian to 80¢ U.S.

World Stamp Show-NY 2016 FDCs

Collectors servicing covers for the U.S. issues being issued at World Stamp Show-New York 2016 should note that not all stamps released at the show will be available for sale at local post offices.

Some of the issues can be requested by local offices, but others will be available only at the show, or by ordering from USPS Stamp Fulfillment Services or calling the toll-free number, 800-782-6724.

‘Star Trek™’ Forever Stamps Boldly Launched

From more than 31,000 post offices today, dedication ceremony launches star trek: mission new york.

September 02, 2016  

WASHINGTON — Nearly 50 years to the day of the original airing of “Star Trek,” the U.S. Postal Service dedicated the Star Trek Forever stamps today at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center . The first-day-of-issue ceremony launched Star Trek:  Mission New York , a three-day celebration that is expected to draw thousands of Star Trek fans.

These stamps will “live long and prosper,” because as Forever stamps they are good for mailing a 1-ounce First-Class letter anytime in the future — regardless of star date. “Star Trek” fans are asked to share the news on social media using the hashtag #StarTrekForever .

“The Postal Service is proud to commemorate ‘Star Trek’ on the eve of its 50th anniversary,” said Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan referring to the iconic television program’s Sept. 8, 1966, debut. “Star Trek’s intricate futuristic setting, multicultural cast and story lines touched on social issues and pushed past the boundaries of popular science fiction becoming a worldwide phenomenon.”

Joining Brennan in dedicating the stamps were actor and humanitarian Walter Koenig, who portrayed U.S.S. Enterprise’s navigation officer Pavel Chekov in the series; NASA Deputy Director of Science for Communication Michelle Thaller; CBS Consumer Products Executive Vice President and General Manager Liz Kaloduer; and, U.S. Postal Service Chief Postal Inspector Guy Cottrell.

“With the chaos in today’s world, hopefully the stamps and what they signify can inspire a better future for us all,” said Koenig.

“’Star Trek’ gave us a universe that we could explore in our imagination,” said Thaller. “In this universe we pioneered not only new technology and new worlds, but — more importantly — new social rules and new definitions of tolerance and diversity. In Star Trek’s universe, we found better ways to be human.”

The stamps, under license by CBS Consumer Products , showcase four digital illustrations inspired by classic elements of the television program:

• The Starship Enterprise inside the outline of a Starfleet insignia against a gold background;
• The silhouette of a crewman in a transporter against a red background;
• The silhouette of the Enterprise from above against a green background; and,
• The Enterprise inside the outline of the Vulcan salute (Spock’s iconic hand gesture) against a blue background.

The words “SPACE… THE FINAL FRONTIER,” from Captain Kirk’s famous voice-over appears beneath the stamps against a background of stars. The stamp images were created by the design firm Heads of State of Philadelphia, PA, under the art direction of Antonio Alcalá of Alexandria, VA.

“Star Trek” celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016. Born from the mind of Gene Roddenberry, the original “Star Trek” series aired for three seasons — a short run that belied the influence it would have for generations. The series also broke new ground in storytelling and cultural mores providing a progressive look at topics including race relations, global politics, the environment and more. It spawned five more television series and 13 feature films spanning the course of half a century.

Beyond its impact on the entertainment landscape, “Star Trek” has also influenced our modern world by helping spark technological advancements such as the cell phone, universal translator, smart watch, tablet, sonogram and other inventions.   

Ordering First-Day-of-Issue Postmarks Customers have 60 days to obtain the first-day-of-issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at local Post Offices, at The Postal Store website at  usps.com⁄shop ,  or by calling 800-782-6724. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes to themselves or others, and place them in a larger envelope addressed to:

Star Trek Stamps Special Events Coordinator 380 West 33rd Street New York, NY 10199-9998

After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is no charge for the postmark up to a quantity of 50. There is a 5-cent charge for each additional postmark over 50. All orders must be postmarked by Nov. 2, 2016.

 ‘Star Trek’ Background Information

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before On Sept. 8, 1966, “Star Trek” premiered. Centered on the interstellar voyages of the U.S.S. Enterprise , the prime-time television program's mission was “to boldly go where no man has gone before.”  

The idea for “Star Trek” came from the mind of writer and producer Gene Roddenberry. Born in Texas in 1921, Roddenberry penned scripts for several shows, including “Dragnet.” In the mid-1950s, he entered the TV world full-time and became a prolific writer. In the early 1960s, he created the military drama “The Lieutenant,” which aired for one season on NBC.

As production on “The Lieutenant” wound down, Roddenberry was developing a program about a starship called the S.S. Yorktown and its crew. In his initial outline, Roddenberry compared Star Trek to the western action and adventure series “Wagon Train.” Several studios turned down the idea before Desilu, the production company founded by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, signed Roddenberry to a contract and began shopping “Star Trek” to the networks. NBC eventually agreed to finance a pilot episode.

The production staff took great care in building the “Star Trek” universe, hiring notable science fiction authors to pen scripts and hiring a scientist as a technical advisor. Set designers devised both the exterior and interior of the Enterprise — which Roddenberry initially had named the Yorktown — and also gave it the registry number NCC-1701. Props such as the cell phone–like communicator and the tricorder, a handheld scanning computer, provided viewers a glimpse into the future. But no piece of fictional technology on Star Trek was as iconic as the transporter, which “beamed” characters from one place to another.

Two Pilot Episodes The pilot was titled “The Cage,” and featured Captain Christopher Pike. However, in a highly unusual move, NBC commissioned a second pilot. The show was recast with the notable exception of Spock, a pointy-eared, supremely logical half-alien officer who hailed from the planet Vulcan.

Captain Pike was replaced with Captain James T. Kirk. Roddenberry added a multicultural cast around him, including both Japanese helmsman Hikaru Sulu and Scottish Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. Communications officer Alden was the Enterprise’s first African-American crew member.

The second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” focused on thwarting two crew members who accidentally acquired mysterious godlike powers. The title of the episode became part of Kirk’s famous introductory voice-over:

“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

This time, the thoughtful but action-oriented story won over NBC, which commissioned the series for the 1966–67 television season. Communications officer Alden departed and Lieutenant Uhura came aboard as the new communications officer. The character was one of the first strong roles for an African-American woman in television history.

Chief Medical Officer Leonard “Bones” McCoy also was added and fans warmed to him after he became the focal point of “The Man Trap,” the episode that served as the series premiere.

During its run on NBC, “Star Trek” deftly combined action, adventure, drama, fantasy and allegory. An early episode, “Errand of Mercy,” about an escalating conflict between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, took on the Cold War. Other episodes alluded to the Vietnam War, the population explosion, the growing generation gap and race relations. (“Plato’s Stepchildren” featured TV's first high-profile scripted interracial kiss between Kirk and Uhura.) “Star Trek” was so globally influential that an article in the Soviet newspaper Pravda complained that the Enterprise’s international crew lacked a Russian. For the show’s second season, Roddenberry responded by introducing young Pavel Chekov. One of the show’s most beloved episodes, “The City on the Edge of Forever,” involved Kirk and Spock traveling back in time to America during the Depression. It won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, while the original teleplay won a Writers Guild of America Award.

By the end of the 1960s, “Star Trek” had become wildly popular. Nonetheless, it was canceled at the conclusion of its second season. But the decision did not stand. Thousands of people sent letters to NBC in support of the show, which NBC picked up for a third season. Fans often repeated lines heard on the program and performed Spock’s iconic Vulcan salute. NBC canceled “Star Trek” after three seasons, but the show soon entered syndication and grew even more popular. By the 1970s, “Star Trek” fans had begun organizing clubs, publishing tribute magazines and holding conventions.

Soon, the once fledgling science fiction program became a franchise. Filmation produced the Emmy Award–winning “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” which featured the voices of the original cast members and aired on NBC in 1973 and 1974. The Paramount Pictures–produced “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” (1979) was the first of six films to star the cast of the original series.

The Next Generation In 1987, “Star Trek: The Next Generation” premiered. Produced by Paramount and aired in first-run syndication, the television series introduced a new crew of adventurers who also appeared together in four films. A trio of “Star Trek” TV series followed in the 1990s and 2000s: “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: Voyager” and Star Trek: Enterprise.

By that time, “Star Trek” had long since become an American institution. In 1992 and 1993, people flocked to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, to explore an exhibit dedicated to the phenomenon.

In 1999, an illustration of the Starship Enterprise appeared on a U.S. postage stamp as part of the Celebrate The Century: The 1960s issuance. In 2009, the enduring entertainment icon was given a reboot with the film “Star Trek.” The franchise continued with “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013) and “Star Trek Beyond” (2016). Fifty years after the debut of the original television series, “Star Trek” continues to capture the imagination of the public.

First Contact Day

• View history

Humans make official contact with an alien species for the first time on April 5 th , 2063

First Contact Day was a holiday celebrated to honor both the warp 1 flight of the Phoenix and first open contact between Humans and Vulcans on April 5 th , 2063 in Bozeman , Montana . ( Star Trek: First Contact )

Mirror First Contact

The mirror universe equivalent of First Contact Day was also on April 5 th . Instead of peacefully greeting the Vulcans, the Terrans slaughtered all of the members of the survey ship . The day was later celebrated as a holy day by the Terran Empire . ( ENT : " In a Mirror, Darkly "; DIS : " Die Trying ")

When Captain Kathryn Janeway was a child, the holiday was just considered a day off from school . Later, at least some schools such as WSA continued to operate on First Contact Day. ( VOY : " Homestead "; ST : " Children of Mars ")

Naomi Wildman and Neelix planned the 315th observation of the event aboard the USS Voyager . The festivities included Zefram Cochrane 's favorite food , cheese pierogies , and rock and roll music on Tom Paris ' jukebox . At Neelix's insistence, Tuvok gave the Vulcan salute while reciting the greeting given by the Vulcans during first contact: " Live long and prosper. " He did not see the point of it, but everyone in attendance applauded. ( VOY : " Homestead ")

During a battle in 2380 , Commander Jack Ransom noted the USS Cerritos was being "carved up like a First Contact Day salmon ." ( LD : " No Small Parts ")

On this day in 2385 , the planet Mars was attacked by rogue synths . 92,143 people died in the attack. ( ST : " Children of Mars "; PIC : " Remembrance ", " Maps and Legends ")

Kovich was born on First Contact Day of an unknown year. ( DIS : " Die Trying ")

DAY OF BLOOD STARTS HERE!

As emperor of the Klingon Empire, Kahless II has consolidated power, raided ancient tombs and secret bunkers, taken the power of gods for himself, stolen the Bajoran Orb of Destruction, and has begun a slaughter across the stars. But this genocide of gods was just the beginning. For with the power he has stolen, Kahless is about to declare war on all those who do not follow the Red Path. To prevent genocide unlike any since the ancient days of Qo’noS, the crew of icons led by the emissary known as Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek) and the renegades who follow a desperate and violent Worf (Star Trek: Defiant) must unite for a common cause. Only they can hope to stop the DAY OF BLOOD.

FIRST LOOK: Covers of IDW February Comics

IDW Publishing has just revealed its Star Trek titles for February 2017, and StarTrek.com is pleased to share details about the titles and exclusive First Looks at their covers.

First up is Star Trek Gold Key 100-page Spectacular , written by Dick Wood and Len Wein, with art by Nevio Zaccara and Alberto Giolitti, and a Michael Stribling cover. It's a special 100-page collection of classic Gold Key Star Trek comics. Created by writers and artists who had not seen the show often (or at all) and worked off of whatever publicity materials they could get their hands on, the Gold Key Comics are true 1960s gems. Needless to say, the end results were definitely unusual - and very un- Trek in some cases: a blond Scotty! Spock kills! The Enterprise belches fire!. Collecting "The Planet of No Return," "The Youth Trap," and "The Enterprise Mutiny," this special also features a history of the Star Trek Gold Key comics by author Joe Berenato. It runs 100 pages and will cost $7.99.

Star Trek New Visions: Sam is the latest from writer and photo-manipulator John Byrne. In it, James Kirk faces the greatest challenge of his life when his own brother is accused of murder. Sam will run 48 pages and sell for $7.99.

Next there's Star Trek: Boldly Go #5 , written by Mike Johnson, with art by Tony Shasteen and a George Caltsoudas cover. The ongoing series continues with this special story focusing on Jaylah, the breakout alien heroine from Star Trek Beyond . Readers will learn the secrets of Jaylah's past as she prepares for a bold new future at Starfleet Academy. Boldly Go #5 will run 32 pages and cost $3.99. Fans should be on the lookout for a subscription variant that features a covery by Tony Shasteen and also a variant cover by Marc Laming.

Finally, there's Star Trek/Green Lantern Vol 2 #3 (of 6) , written by Mike Johnson, with Angel Hernandez providing the art and cover. In issue #3 of the blockbuster crossover, the race to the planet Oa continues. Will Captain Kirk and Hal Jordan be the first to find the legendary home of the Green Lanterns, or will Sinestro and the Klingons beat them to it? #3 will run 32 pages and be priced at $3.99. The subscription variant will feature a Sandra Lanz cover, while Aaron Harvey has created the variant cover.
