Produced clearly to capture the dollars being spent on the baseball card boom, Grenada issued 5 sheets of stamps featuring major league players. Pete Rose was featured in the lower corner of the yellow bordered stamps. Major League Baseball had given permission to Philatelic International to use the Major League logos for use on these issues. The stamps were issued a few months after the decision to ban Rose from baseball for gambling infractions. The stamps were prepared and printed well in advance of the decision. After the stamps were released, the representatives of Major League Baseball asked for the Rose stamp to be removed. Philatelic International complied and re-printed the yellow border sheet and removed the image of Rose
