About My Limited Edition U.S.P.S. Sports Mats	I have been stashing away full sheets of commemorative stamps and other philatelic items for over 45 years -- Evelio did too -- for no other reason except that we liked the designs -- they depict subjects that we were interested in -- sports, fossils, animals, plants, history, famous people, science, technology and art -- stamp collecting is an easy and fun way for kids from 8 to 68 to learn about geography, as well as the subjects depicted on the postage stamps. The United States Postal Service started selling Limited Edition photographs accompanied by an associated special one-day-only hand stamped cover [a postal term for envelope] dedicated to special events, stamp issues, and what they call Sports Mats in about 2002. These Sports Mats highlight a player [and in some cases the team or several players], apparently on some significant date relative to the team and player/s depicted. They are all professionally DOUBLE matted using acid free board -- -- the surround / border of the photo and cover have beveled edges, the same costly methods used by upscale framing shops to prepare art work for a custom frame of the customer's choice. This series of Sports Mats was obtained for me over the past few years by a friend who does my postal runs for me when he can get out of work, usually in duplicate, and what I am offering is my spare -- not all post offices carry them, and the ones that do, usually seem to have only a couple models available, and they can't get more of the same presentation -- they cost him $19.99 / each -- I checked the USPS web site and these things are NOT listed anywhere. My pal doesn't charge me for his help, which is super kewl. All are in proverbial MINT condition, and stashed as safely as I do with absolutely everything. These Sports Mats were only issued on a single day and are extremely difficult to find! Listen to your seller talking to YOU, personally, about his kewl items while you are reading about this one

Limited Edition Number on Hologram	Number on Hologram - 00145740231 two things make this a valuable Limited Edition sports collectible -- 1) the unique registration number of the officially licensed photograph, stated above, on the Hologram printed on the lower right of the photo, and although there are perhaps a couple hundred similar photographs, each has a different number -- and 2) the one-day-only hand cancellation on the First Day Cover, which commemorates some special achievement of the player/s and/or his team on that particular date and/or at that location -- there may be several hundred of that particular style envelope design bearing that specific cancellation date and / or special cachet -- you may find this and other common stamp collecting terms and definitions at STAMPS.
