Special decorative covers are now provided with the issue of each new stamp. Some are designed by the same artist who prepared the stamp design and bear a facsimile of his signature. Some also feature alternative but unadopted stamp designs. The price of the official first day cover, without stamps, is 8c. Prepared covers with stamps postmarked on the first day of issue are available too but only for the first week of the stamp issue while stocks last. These are sold for the face value of the stamp(s) affixed plus 8c for the cover.
