In the past 70 years, over 100 accomplished Black Americans have been honored on U.S. postage stamps that are no longer sold at the post office, and are becoming increasingly hard to find.
The Black Heritage Commemorative Society has acquired a limited supply of all these original, uncirculated stamps in exquisite, mint condition and is making them available to collectors, set on deluxe 9" x 10" biography cards with vintage photographs.
When you order the Complete Collection of Black American Stamps you will receive your first shipment for $23.85 plus 4.50 shipping & handling. This shipment includes a FREE Martin Luther King, Jr. original mint-condition stamp and collector's biography card, plus the Harriett Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and Paul Laurence Dunbar original mint-condition stamps and collector's biography cards.
Thereafter, each month you will receive a new shipment for the regular price of $23.85 plus 4.50 shipping & handling, containing 3 more original mint-condition stamps and three more collector's biography cards, until your collection is complete.
There are no minimum purchase requirements to participate in the Complete Collection of Black American Stamps. You may return any item for a full refund and you may cancel your participation at any time - no questions asked.
And the FREE Martin Luther King, Jr. mint-condition stamp and collector's biography card is yours to keep no matter what.
We'll start you off on your Complete Collection of Black American Stamps with the Martin Luther King, Jr. commemorative above, FREE when you purchase the three mint-condition stamps and deluxe, oversized, 9" x 10" biography cards shown above. If you aren't delighted, just return them. The free gift is yours to keep no matter what.
Extra Bonus! With your collection, you'll receive this elegant gold-embossed collector's album FREE (you pay only $6.95 shipping!) Custom crafted to accommodate the large 9" x 10" biography cards and protective sleeves. We'll send it automatically with your third shipment.
In addition to their historical value, each stamp in the Complete Collection of Black American Stamps has increased in dollar value since it was discontinued. Philatelic experts know the worth - and the potential for appreciation - of these stamps.
Now you can collect them to pass along to future generations, give as gifts, or keep as a proud reminder of the contributions Black Americans have made.
The U.S. Postal Service has been recognizing the value of Black achievement since 1940 with these stamps. You'll recognize the value of this superb collection for years to come.
The oversized collector's cards that house the stamps are beautifully designed, sturdy, heavyweight folios, each with a large vintage photo on the front and a privately commissioned biography on the reverse. They reveal the inspiring stories of the individuals behind the stamps who broke the color barrier, the records and the rules. An invaluable way for young and old to learn about and embrace their heritage, this collection is truly destined to be a treasured family heirloom.
Despite the fact that many of the stamps in the Complete Collection of Black American Stamps have been out of circulation for years, the persistent efforts of the Black Heritage Commemorative Society have located all of them in pristine condition - including the first one ever issued, the Booker T. Washington stamp from 1940. Not many of these remain, and they will be available only as long as supplies last. When they're gone, these key markers of Black American achievement will be gone forever.
