I was at the post office today & several people in line before me bought a group of these stamps
They told me they were selling pretty well considering Barry Bonds isn't on the stamp
But they will never be worth much as they always print a gazillion of each issue

I bought these stamps a few days ago and
was impressed how 19th Century it looked
had no idea they stole the image.
Thanks for the scan

I was in the PO the other day and this old lady said to the clerk, "Anything but the baseball stamps please." I proceeded to key her car, but later found out they were for funeral notices.

Word is, The artist actually owns the old trade card that was used in designing the stamp. It's okay to steal it in that case.

The artist really didn't do too much
just changed or deleted some wording
