Any of you hear about this?

I apologize if someone already posted it.

kuhlmann

are those only available to those who goto the game? or will they be available in every state?

They're going to be issued July 15th in New York (first day of issue ceremonies).

They'll be available July 16th across the country.

Do you know if when these are issued if they are in limited quantity?

Very classic looking artwork. I don't think it said who the artist was?

I like the Campy. I was just looking at his stats and Campy had one of the best arms to second in the history of baseball!

In total, catchers have thrown out people over 60% of the time in 8 seasons. Campy holds the record at 68% and has 5 of the 8 times it has been done!

It's a shame his career was cut short to 10 yrs.

Thanx for sharing - the stamps will look great!

"Artist Lonnie Busch of Franklin, North Carolina based his designs on historic photographs, simplifying and adapting the portraits to resemble old-fashioned baseball trading cards. He also created the stamp art for Greetings from America (2002), 2004 Olympic Games * Athens, Greece (2004) and Wonders of America: Land of Superlatives (2006)."
