RECREATIONAL SPORTS

SOFTBALL

The catcher is crouched ready to receive the ball. The umpire is ready to call ball or strike -- fair or foul. The batter is poised ready to take a mighty swing. Most unique about this hand-painted cachet is that the softball has just left the pitcher's unseen hand and it looms large and bold in the foreground as it starts its short, fast flight to either the catcher's mitt or to impact with the swinging bat. A most interesting "Sports" First Day Cover.

Baseball is a favorite topic within our hobby. I know that this COLLINS softball cachet will sell out relatively quickly. It will definitely be a fine addition to your collection. As with all of my covers in this Recreational Sports series of five, the close-up, extremely large presentation of the respective ball in action makes for a very different and very dramatic cachet. Looking at this one, you'll almost feel that you're the pitcher and have just released the softbal toward home plate. Play Ball! Item #G2402. $10.75.
