Philatelic Cachet and Cancellation
A specially designed philatelic souvenir envelope has been prepared for the 59th Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition on
Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy. This is the 32nd in a series honoring a famous scientist or an event in
science. The cachet and insert honors Marie and Pierre Curie. The cacheted envelope will be available at the Philatelic
Booth during Pittcon 2008. Interested collectors who are unable to attend Pittcon 2008 may obtain one to three envelopes
at no charge by sending a request, together with a self-addressed stamped no. 10 envelope (SASE) to: Philatelic Cachet,
c/o The Pittsburgh Conference, 300 Penn Center Boulevard, Suite 332, Pittsburgh, PA 15235-5503. If a cacheted envelope
which is stamped and hand-cancelled during Conference Week is desired, please enclose current U.S. first class postage
for each envelope requested.
The Pittcon 2008 Philatelic Booth will be located in Lobby A of the Morial Convention Center. At the Philatelic Booth,
cacheted envelopes with a variety of older science-related stamps will be available for $2.00 each. These also can be
ordered by mail with an accompanying SASE.
A U.S. Postal Service substation will be located adjacent to the Philatelic Booth where postage stamps can be purchased
and letters and cards can be hand-cancelled.
