Stamps ? Are we collecting stamps now ??

When I was a kid, growing up in Europe, stamp collecting was kind of often seen, usually collected by grandpa's and grandma's. In the last 10-15 years that hobby gradually died down I think with the emergence of sticker stamps and changes in postage systems. Therefore, I wasn't expecting to be starting to collect stamps in my lifetime.

Well, that all changed last week !! I noticed a new 2012 Panini signature card of Blyleven and this one included a stamp. It seems Panini has a complete insert series called Signature Stamps in its 2012 Panini Signature Series....so there I went, picking up my first "Stamp" baseball card. It arrived a few days back. I think it's interesting and kind of strange at the same time....judge for yourself !


Any of you own a "stamp" baseball card ?

  1. Wow, I really like that card! I'm going to have to check those out...

    I don't own a "stamp" baseball card, but I do own that particular stamp. I collected stamps for a couple of years in high school... Yeah, I was a pretty nerdy kid (and still am).

  2. That is a pretty sweet card!

    I do have a few stamp baseball cards, as 2011 Gypsy Queen did them at a rate of /10 per player. I have picked up a few of the Astros. None of them are autographed though, I wish they had been but I know it would be really hard to get all 350 players to sign 10 cards a piece! Plus they'd have skyrocketed in value as well.

    Nice pick up!
