Cachet refers to a design printed on an envelope. It is often found on First Day Covers and Special Event covers. Before collectors got really interested in the postmarks, First Day Covers were identified simply by the cancellation.
Early cachet covers are unusual and bring a premium. Later FDCs and events without cachet are going to be worth considerably less.
