That is great. If you're interested in maybe trading some of your Washington Herald Sports Stamps for others from a different paper, let me know. I'd let to eventually get at least one or two Sports Stamps from each of the known publications they appeared in.

I ended up selling them all to Rhett back in 2018 (I think). He may still have them.

Does anybody have a complete list of all the newspapers which carried the "Sport Stamps" in 1936. Here's a list I have to get started, anymore ?

Detroit Times
Boston American
Sunday Advertiser ( Boston ? )
Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph
The Sporting News
Chicago American
Washington Herald
Los Angeles Examiner
Omaha Bee-News
Atlanta Georgian-American (Minor League)

Bump . No additions to the list ?

I thought I would post that I sent off my Ruth, DiMaggio, Dizzy Dean and Lou Gehrig sports stamps from the Chicago American to PSA yesterday for grading and encapsulation. They don't have any in their pop report, only the Detroit Times and Sporting News. So I guess we will find out if they will grade stamps from some of the other papers in a couple of months. I've attached a copy of the front and back of the DiMaggio for your viewing. I'm hoping it will receive a number grade!

The Seattle Post Intelligencer also published Sports Stamps. MLB and PCL players, along with other sports. I have a bunch of them...add me to the group that thinks they are cool!

Here's a Feller "rookie". Happy to post more.

Fantastic! That's the first Feller Sport Stamp I've seen. I actually purchased a 1936 Sporting News paper from the Feller estate that Bob kept all those years. When I received it, I frantically opened it hoping to find the Sport Stamp - No Luck! I thought it would have been so cool to have a 36 Sport Stamp of Feller that he actually owned and kept all those years. I still have the paper. He kept the paper in his desk all this time - unusual? - Who knows.
