1915 Postaco Stamps featured stars of the time. the image features a portrait sketch of the player with a red or yellow background. An uncut sheet sold at auction (2011) for over $2,000. The set has a total of 36 stamps with many hall of famers and measure 1 3/4 x 2 1/8". Under the player name is his position. at the bottom of the stamp is a copyright mark and the name Postaco.


The issues are scare even though an entire sheet had been located. On the graded sites fewer than 100 examples of the entire set have been graded. Of course as with stamps or baseball cards condition and centering effect the value

A poster stamp, cinderella stamp, was used as an advertising label or commemorative that is usually lager than most postage stamps. These stamps appeared in the mid-19th century and quickly became a collecting craze, declining in popularity after World War II. Not valid for postage these were often placed on envelopes to accompany the actual postage. The above images are for reference purposes and some have been cleaned up to show a better image. Postaco stamps can be found on many auction sites or on eBay.
