I don’t actively collect stamps, but when there are cool
baseball issues, I’ll usually try and go out of my way to pick some up. In
2005, the USPS issued a “Baseball Sluggers” set of stamps, featuring four stars
from the past: Mickey Mantle, Roy Campanella, Mel Ott, and Hank Greenberg. I
definitely bought these at the time because of Mantle, but the other three guys
are pretty damn good too.
I’m in the process of packing for a move across the river
(as mentioned in my last post), so I found these stamps in a box in my closet.
I had forgotten I had them. The sheet is still in pretty good shape, and I’m
glad I held onto them.
