THE END OF AN ERA OCCURRED ON MARCH 21, 2004 IN PHILADELPHIA....THE DEMOLITION OF VETERANS STADIUM, HOME TO THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES AND EAGLES. THIS HISTORIC COLOR PHOTO OF THIS EVENT IS JOINED BY THREE UNCANCELLED, COLLECTIBLE U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS.
ONE OF THE OLDEST STAMPS THAT WE USE ON ANY PIECE IS THE RED STAMP FEATURING THE LIBERTY BELL ISSUED IN 1926! THE MIDDLE STAMP IS OF SHIBE PARK, THE PHILLIES' HOME PRIOR TO VETERANS, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CONNIE MACK STADIUM. THIS STAMP WAS ISSUED IN 2001 IN A SERIES CALLED 10 CLASSIC BALLPARKS. THE FINAL STAMP COMMEMORATES THE CENTENNIAL OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND WAS ISSUED IN 1969.
MATTED IN BLUE, THIS PIECE IS SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME.
