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 decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



The name is LEE!

    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.

    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.
