Happened to come across this 1978 Stamp Collecting PSA sponsored by the US Postal Service and thought I'd post it for those interested in TV personalities who are stamp collectors. I can't say that I remember this 30 second spot, but it's an interesting look into back into that decade:

Neat commercial. I wonder if his kids are now enjoying stamps like he predicted?

I have no idea. But I found this quote in Wiki's bio of Mr. Borgnine to be interesting:


Quote:
He later married singer Ethel Merman (1964); the marriage barely lasted a month. Their divorce was finalised on May 25, 1965.


So I wonder if he collected this stamp?

Ahh, they don't make commercials like that anymore!

I guess, depending on how amicable the breakup was, his copy of her stamp could be a SON - not that I would encourage that sort of thing, of course

In any event, I would certainly think it would be a CANCELLED stamp!
