Bureau card

These are souvenir cards produced by the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing mostly using engravings of uncleared proofs of older US stamps or obsolete currency/banknote designs.

The first issue was in 1969 for the SANDIPEX stamp show in San Diego, California. There have been 300+ created since, including for coin shows. The Philatelic Truck souvenir sheet is considered to be a forerunner of these. These are listed in the Scott US Specialized Catalog.

Some collectors prefer them with a stamp added, cancelled by a show or event cancel.  File:HAPEX souvenir card.jpg|HAPEX 70 Bureau card. Note no denominations are shown/added.
