Tiger Woods - Golfer of Millennium.... Shown here is a Postal Souvenir Sheet issued by the republic of Turkmenistan called Tiger Woods -Golfer of Millennium (these words are printed in metallic gold) with seven full-color stamps. A souvenir sheet can be one stamp or several stamps, surrounded by extra artwork - in this case - several different golf courses. They are issued in limited numbers (this sheet is 829 of 1000), meant to be intact and collected. Because the US cannot issue stamps honoring a living person, smaller countries, in order to generate revenue, will issue stamps for people, sports figures and entertainers being the favorites, knowing collectors will want them.
Matted in green, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame.
