What is the value of Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron stamps?

Answer 1

Value of Sports Personality US Postage StampsScott Number #4083 - Mickey Mantle

The Mickey Mantle stamp is one of a set of four that featured Baseball Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Roy Campanella, Hank Greenberg and Mel Ott on the 39-cent "Baseball Sluggers" postage stamps. They can be purchased for $1.50 each new. If unused, they are still valid for face value as postage. To a collector they may be worth a dollar or two in mint condition. These are fairly common stamps.

Hank Aaron is still living. Given that the US does not issue stamps depicting living persons, there is no US issued stamp with Aaron on it. Some countries have issued stamps to capitalize on the sports collectors, most stamp collectors are not interested in such commercial items.

~*~Actually there IS a Hank Aaron Stamp. First day of issue was Dec. 21 1992. It was a $2 Hank Aaron, St. Vincent & the Grenadines postage stamp and then there was also a $10 23karat gold stamp released at the same time in '92 (depicting the April 16, 1964 Houston/Owens away game. I believe about 400 of those exist, only because I have one and it says "#343 of Four" hundred I assumed...or thousand? Anyways, although I don't know the value, I saw one (autographed) on eBay for $120. But that is for the golden stamp.
