New US Stamp

19Lyds

Have the new Take Me Out to the Ball Game Stamps been discussed here yet? Personally, I think they look very cool!



Also I was wondering if the V111 means anything?

I like the way they look to. But, the question is, is that a real ball player is so, who is it ?

V1111 is the plate number...

The art is actually based on some original early designs that have been reworked a bit for a stamp.

Here's a picture of the original 19th Century Tobacco Trade Card the stamp was designed from:

Very unique Steve, thanks for sharing such a cool Trade card.

Where do you find one like yours?

The card isn't mine. It was posted recently on another internet collectors' forum that I frequent. Probably your best bet in finding one would be to check ebay under the "tobacciana" category in collectibles.

I'm glad I checked back on this post!

That card is way cool!

Does the USPS have to get permission to copy that card so closely?

Doubt it, if the copyright exists it's probably expired and I doubt the company exists unless it was absorbed by another.
