First Day Covers (Private*)

*SPECIAL NOTE: In Moldova, it is possible to go to a post office and present an envelope or postcard bearing any Moldovan stamp and to have it postmarked with the official First Day Cancellation, if available, thus permitting the creation of private First Day Covers and Maximum Cards. Since these items are completely legitimate, this catalogue will attempt to list all known examples of them, provided that the envelope or postcard is not an unauthorized reproduction of the official design, attempting to mislead collectors into believing that the item is an official emission of the Moldovan Post Office.

Maxi-Cards (Private*)

*SPECIAL NOTE: In Moldova, it is possible to go to a post office and present an envelope or postcard bearing any Moldovan stamp and to have it postmarked with the official First Day Cancellation, if available, thus permitting the creation of private First Day Covers and Maximum Cards. Since these items are completely legitimate, this catalogue will attempt to list all known examples of them, provided that the envelope or postcard is not an unauthorized reproduction of the official design, attempting to mislead collectors into believing that the item is an official emission of the Moldovan Post Office.

In the case of the Maximum Cards below, the postcards were produced by the Moldovan Post Office separately from the stamps issue. A private individual then affixed the stamps to the postcards and subsequently had the cards postmarked with the First Day cancellation. This results in perfectly valid Maximum Cards, but, as Maximum Cards, they are not official emissions of the Moldovan Post Office.
