View source for Isle of Man First Day Cover Checklist

This manually maintained checklist lists the Isle of Man covers recorded on PhantomWiki, including joint covers and the last-day British postal cover.

'''Key:''' ☑ = owned; ☐ = wanted. These symbols are manually editable, not clickable checkboxes. Edit them in the page source when ownership changes. The generic Wanted image marks wanted covers without an uploaded front image. The generic Awaiting Scan image marks owned covers without an uploaded front scan. Both placeholders are used only on this checklist and are replaced by genuine front-cover images when available.

Covers are listed in ascending issue-date order. For the same issue and date, official covers come first, followed by official self-adhesive covers, then other covers alphabetically by producer. Covers with an unidentified producer follow those with a known producer.

Dates follow the issue-date field on each cover page. A cancellation date may differ: the Cotswold postage due cover is listed under 1 September 1973, with its 10 September cancellation noted in the title column.
