61 in '61....the unbelievable happened - BABE RUTH'S RECORD HAD BEEN BROKEN! AND THE MAN TO BREAK IT WAS NOT MICKEY MANTLE, BUT ROGER MARIS. IT TOOK DECADES FOR HIM TO GET THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVED.
WHEN THE USPS ISSUED 150 STAMPS TO CELEBRATE THE 20TH CENTURY, ROGER MARIS' FEAT WAS ONE OF 15 EVENTS SELECTED TO REPRESENT THE DECADE OF THE 1960'S. A SHEET OF THESE 15 STAMPS HAD ONLY ONE STAMP OF EACH.....MAKING EACH ONE NOW HARD TO GET. WE'VE INCLUDED AN UNCANCELLED ROGER MARIS STAMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAMP TRIO.
THE REMAINING TWO STAMPS ARE THE CENTENNIAL STAMP OF BASEBALL ISSUED IN 1939, AND THE CENTENNIAL STAMP OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL ISSUED IN 1969.
