ON SEPTEMBER 8, 1998, IN ST. LOUIS, CARDINALS GREAT, MARK McGWIRE BROKE THE 37 YEAR RECORD OF ROGER MARIS WITH HIS 62ND HOME RUN. WE'VE COMBINED AN ACTION PHOTO ILLUSTRATING THE POWER OF A McGWIRE SWING WITH A VERY COLLECTIBLE PIECE OF POSTAL AND BASEBALL MEMORABILIA.
THE ENVELOPE IS A COMMEMORATIVE COVER CANCELLED ON THE DATE AND IN THE CITY THAT McGWIRE'S 62nd OCCURRED. ON A COMMEMORATIVE COVER THE STAMP IS IMMATERIAL; THE ONLY REASON IT'S THERE IS THAT THE POST OFFICE WILL NOT CANCEL UNLESS THERE IS CURRENT POSTAGE ON THE ENVELOPE. THE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE THE CANCELLATION, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND THE ARTWORK (CACHET).
THE CARDINALS FAN IN YOUR LIFE WILL LOVE THIS. IT'S GOT EVERYTHING - A GREAT PLAYER, A HISTORIC EVENT, AND COLLECTIBILITY. MATTED IN CARDINAL RED (WHAT ELSE?), THE PIECE IS SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME.
