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. Edit these symbols in the page source when ownership changes. The generic Wanted image marks wanted covers without an uploaded front image. A blank image cell marks an owned cover awaiting a front scan.

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.
