A quick return to this thread after about a year to share a bit of philately with my numismatic colleagues!
Above, I presented the various coin sets produced by the US Mint for the venues that hosted the 1994 World Cup Soccer Tournament. The Mint presented a macro view of the venue's location, but did not always identify the true local site.
I recently came across a set of First Day Covers (FDCs) that each feature a pictorial postmark / cancellation from the host city vs. a broader geographic identifier. I decided they would be a nice counterpart to my World Cup "Venue" collection, so I moved forward with a purchase.
I will present them in the same order as the Venue Sets (above) so that making the corresponding "pairs" will be easier.
