NOTES:
 
   Founded by John Zaso, Historic Limited Editions produced Silk-Cacheted Philatelic Covers to commemorate a special event. The process starts with a staff artist who does an original painting of a ballplayer or event. The artwork is then reproduced on a specially manufactured silk-like cloth. The silk cachets are then applied to envelopes which have been stamped and postmarked by the post office in the corresponding city where the event occurred. In general 200-600 covers were produced for each, with the numbers varying based on potential player or event demand.

 Historic Limited Editions occasionally offered pre-signed Cachets on some issues. The Silk Cachets were also used by collectors to have a ballplayer autograph at memorabilia shows. Free official covers commemorating the show were commonly offered to the first 1,000 admissions. Significant memorabilia shows such as the National Sports Collectors Convention would giveaway 1,000 each day. Z-Silk Covers were also produced for players appearing for autograph signings. The sample above was made for the 7th Annual NSCC show in Arlington Texas, held on July 26, 1986.

 To the bottom right of the Silk artwork, features the Historic Limited Editions "Z" shield logo. The far right below the stamp and postmark, is a description of the event or a short player bio. Below is a very small sample of Z Silk Cachets.
