Iconic screen beauty Marilyn Monroe and baseball player extraordinaire Babe Ruth are celebrated in Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation?s (IGPC) new postage stamp series. The two American legends have earned their places in the hearts and minds of many and now you can send these immortal stars to virtually anyone in the world.

Babe Ruth and Marilyn Monroe are two stars that seem like perfect choices for the campaign. Monroe entertained the public and became the world?s classic visualization of feminine perfection. Babe Ruth astonished the world with his raw athletic talent and epitomized sports stardom as we know it. IGPC?s special edition stamps honor their accomplishments and contributions in their respective careers. Marilyn Monroe?s stamp commemorates her achievements in the film and entertainment industries, which she dominated throughout her career. Babe Ruth?s stamps honor the 100th anniversary of the World Series and his personal achievements in the time-honored American pastime of baseball.

Many international postal administrations have commemorated Marilyn and Babe but IGPC is utilizing new, original and never before seen designs that will thrill both philatelists and nostalgia fans alike. The stamps will only be sold until December 2005 so it?s wise to act fast. There is the possibility that a few limited edition sheets will be produced toward the end of this campaign. That would drastically increase the value and collectibility of these remarkable stamps.

The Marilyn Monroe and Babe Ruth stamps are available for purchase at stamp dealers all over the world. Any comments/feedback regarding the stamp designs should be directed to igpc@igpc.net and be sure to mention this article.

IGPC is the world?s largest philatelic agency, located in Manhattan, New York. They aid over 60 governments all over the world in the conception, design, marketing and distribution of postage stamps. For more information on the Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation, please visit www.igpc.net.
