Hello!

This auction is for a 1970 Wilkinsburg stamp club Souvenir sheet. The sheet is in excellent condition with full, never hinged original gum. These satirical sheets poke fun at the previous years stamp subjects with no regard for political correctness. These souvenir sheet were, and STILL are issued every year by the club in conjunction with their show in April.

A description from the Wilkinsburg Stamp Club about this year's sheet;

"The "Beautification of America" and "Botanical Congress" issues started something new in the way of "Quads", four different stamps with the same motif issued se-tennant, Only the 1964 Christmas stamps shared this honor. Upper Slobbovia thought the hundredth anniversary of baseball should also have been commemorated with quads and distorted the 1969 Baseball, Apollo 8, Apollo 11c airmail and the new special delivery stamps to the baseball motif. When we placed "Peppermint" and "Spearmint" on the arrows of the special delivery stamp we didn't realize we were infringing on the Wrigley trademark until it was called to our attention by the Wrigley Company. They were kind enough to permit us to sell them until the end of the year, but we had to destroy all remainders. We therefore cannot supply this sheet."
