I guess no one has any SPORTS stamps around here!

I am having scanner trouble--hubby got so disgusted with it that he just walked out of the room. Maybe I can borrow some pics. It's a shame because I have some great Australian sports stamps that Triggersmob sent me that I want to share!

I am a bit surprised this thread hasn't seen a bit more traffic, but maybe that's because there's so many interesting topical threads going now. (Thanks Gussyboy1, I think we can safely blame you for this. )

Here are couple baseball stamps. The first is from 1939 and celebrates the centennial of baseball (Scott #855). The second is from 1969 and celebrates the centennial of professional baseball (Scott #1381). I guess that means that it took a mere 30 years for baseball to catch on so much that people could make a career out of playing the game.

And since we're on the topic of centennials, 1991 was the centennial of basketball. This is Scott #2560.

something of my own..

another one..i just uploaded it now in photobucket

Hey John ,FYI those extreme sports stamps have hidden images that can be seen with a special decoder lens.

really? how do I check the hidden images? would a magnifying lens do? I dont know how I could get hold of a decoder lens...

Cycling stamps ,of the more odd stamps one of the stamps depicts Paraolympic cycling and another depicts a letter carrier using a Bicycle



John a Magnifier will not work, this lens is kind of like a Lenticular postcard with many lenticular lines ,the USPS came out with the decoder lens in the late 90's , you can still pick them up at some post offices, strange that I couldn't find it online at the USPS

Here ya go Gussy, courtesy of the oddball collection.
