Item Description
Detailed DescriptionIt is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp(s), please check with me before you bid or place the order.
The four players honored on these stamps capture our imagination for their exploits and for what they symbolize — the best of baseball — and, in a way, the best of ourselves. In 2012, the PostalService salutes Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby, Willie Stargell, and Ted Williams. Each of these Hall of Famers was a perennial All-Star selection and each left an indelible impression on the game.
Joe DiMaggio (1914-1999) led the New York Yankees to ten pennants and nine World Series titles. Many consider him the greatest all-around player of his time.
Ted Williams (1918-2002) of the Boston Red Sox was the last Major League player to bat over .400 for a single season (1941). During his stellar career, he won six American League batting titles and four home run titles. Today, “the Kid” is regarded as one of the all-time greatest hitters in Major League Baseball history.
Larry Doby(1923-2003) was the first African American to play in the American League, joining the Cleveland Indians shortly after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League. He faced prejudice with dignity and courage.
Willie Stargell (1940-2001) powered the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates, a multicultural team known as “The Family,” to a World Series title. He is also remembered for promoting harmony between players from different backgrounds.
Artist Kadir Nelson based his artwork on historic photographs of the four players. Art director Phil Jordan designed the stamps.
The Major League Baseball All-Stars stamps are being issued as Forever®stamps. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.

Important tips to save shipping fee -
If you are purchasing multiple stamps through "Buy it now" option, please make sure all the items are in the basket before any payment. Please review the invoice carefully to ensure all the items are listed there so that Hip System can apply the combined shipping discount properly.
Otherwise, Hip / PayPal will charge the FULL shipping fee for each item and they withhold the transaction fee & commission based on FULL shipping payment. There is no easy way to refund the difference unless we cancel all the transactions one by one.
If you have any question, please check with me before any payment.
