  1. I see they also acknowledge our country's Bicentennial too! Thank you Mexico!

    Too bad stamps look too fake today since they aren't made the same way they use to be.

  2. Chris - I think that might have been part of the overall branding of the Interphil event, which took place in Philadelphia in 1976. Super stamp collecting patriotism overload!
