Stamp Art
The Commemorative Stamp Program issues stamps that honor events, persons, or themes. The first stamps were issued by the Post Office Department in 1893. To date, more than three thousand commemorative stamps have been issued that celebrate America’s national history — from animals to plants, people to places, and anniversaries to events. The Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee was established in 1957 and its members use their collective expertise in history, science, technology, art, education, sports, and other areas of public interest, to consider and then recommend stamp subjects to the Postmaster General for final approval.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
The USPS commemorates one of the most popular baseball songs of all time with this “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” NFT digital stamp art. This NFT release coincides with opening day of the National Postal Museum exhibit: Baseball: America’s Home Run, opening April 9th and running through January 5th, 2025. The exhibit celebrates and explores the surprising ways that baseball and postal history have been deeply intertwined since the early twentieth century. Located in Washington, D.C., next to Union Station, the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum showcases the largest and most comprehensive collection of stamps and philatelic material in the world.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
The “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” stamp, originally released in 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the song, highlights one of the most popular baseball tunes of all time.
