The one of a kind first class stamp featuring Tony Gwynn swinging a bat in prime form is certain to be a collector's item for fans and stamp collectors alike. Five hundred and nineteen of the stamps and covers bare an original Tony Gwynn autograph, and the remaining 500 bare a facsimile of his signature. As soon as the web site www.TonyGwynnStamps.com went live yesterday orders started coming. Chris Murch, President of wsRadio.com said "Tony has a lot of loyal fans especially here in San Diego since he has been loyal to us all these years."
The cover also lists Gwynn's major achievements, which include; 3141 hits, 8 Time National League Batting Champ, 16 All Star Games, 5 Gold Gloves, a .338 lifetime batting average and his 3000th hit on 8.6.1999.
