Baseball Topical Stamps

HI !

I collect onely one topic and it's baseball, I don't like to collect by topic but it's just my favorite sport.

Does anyone have this famous list of baseball stamps ?

IN same time if someone collect stamps of baseball too you can contact me to talk about them.

THanks !

Have you ever seen the baseball stamps from Manama from 1972? They are 3D and come from the United Arab Emirates, I believe. They are not too expensive, but make great additions to a collection.

Hi Ccool,

Mr. Stephan's list is quite nice.

Happy collecting!

Canada has issued three baseball stamps, this was the first, issued in 1987.

It sounds to me like you need the ATA list. If you're not a member you might check them out online. I can't remember if they'll sell lists to non-members or not.

Hi !

THanks for all information. All these list can be helpfull but not complete, if anyone find them or know someone I appreciate a lot to receive them.

Does anyone are member of ATA here ?

THanks ! :)

I checked the ATA website. There is no handbook devoted only to baseball. There is one devoted to all sports but I don't know how complete it is.

They do list an 18 page checklist for baseball published in June 2006. The cost is 20 cents per page for ATA members only.

The APS library catalog shows the following:

I'm not sure what Compex refers to.

Hi !

I think that the book at too old, like you know too many stamps in a year for a book of 1989.

For the list of ATA it's just that it cost to me around 40$ US to have them.... I find them expensive.

THanks for the information :)

Uh BeeSee.........I wouldn't call that a "baseball stamp."

Yeh you are right Moonbird it is more like softball. So often the sports are (incorrectly) collectively called baseball. I played both for years.

Rod, that Bulgaria stamp looks a lot like Pete Rose when he was with the Phillies

There is a certain resemblance, isn't there.
