Description
This is a 1968 Topps Baseball Stamp featuring Thomas Jefferson. These stamps were originally issued in 12-stamp panels inserted into wax packs. This specific specimen has been separated/hand-cut from its panel. It features a green monochromatic portrait of the 3rd U.S. President with 'THOMAS JEFFERSON' and 'UNITED STATES 1c' text.
Key Features
Vintage Topps production; part of the popular 1968 baseball stamp insert series which primarily featured MLB stars but included historical figures on specific panel edges.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Topps stamp stock. The lithography and paper aging are consistent with late 1960s Topps inserts. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Extremely poor centering; roughly hand-cut edges that are not straight; visible horizontal crease across the center of the face; ink smudging/transfer on the top and right borders.

Selling Tips
This item is not a candidate for professional grading due to the cost-to-value ratio. Best sold as part of a lot of 1968 Topps stamps or to a completionist collector of the 1968 Topps set. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
