Edna Ferber

James Dean Cachet

This 83c stamp meets the new first-class rate for a three-ounce letter and is considered a "high value" issue, which many collectors covet. It honors Edna Ferber who is one of our greatest authors with many acclaimed works to her credit.

For my hand painted cachet, I chose to depict James Dean who played a starring role in the movie version of Ferber's Giant. This is the story of oil and cattle in Texas and is considered a classic motion picture. It should be noted that, when I offered the James Dean cachet in the Legends of Hollywood series, it sold out almost immediately. That attraction to collectors weighed in my decision to offer another portrait study of the talented young movie actor who met his tragic end so early in life. Be sure not to miss adding this Collins cachet to your collection.

Edna Ferber was a giant among prominent authors. James Dean was a giant among Hollywood legends. I'm pleased to announce an FDC that only individual hand painting can capture in such realistic and life-like terms. Edna Ferber's Giant — Collins #Z3501 - $12.75.
