Laminated stamps

I got a lot of nine 1971 Dell Today stamps from eBay (actually it was 3 lots of 3). I don't have many from this set, and they look very nice.

One thing that attracted me to these stamps but kept the price low is that they were laminated. In my mind this improves the stamps, as it makes them thicker, more substantial like cards.

Here they are in groups of three - my groupings, not the lots they were broken up in.

Starting off with three solid hitters - Horton, Carty and Alex Johnson.

A trio of pitchers, all with interesting backgrounds. Cleveland Stadium on Sam McDowell's card, what I believe is Baltimore for Denny McLain, and my favorite, Bob Gibson with some of the most lush foliage I've seen on a card. Great photo.

Finally, three very powerful hitters. The Aaron photo is a little plain, but no photo of Hank Aaron is truly plain. The Mays and Killebrew look fantastic with some great backgrounds.
