USA: 17-18

This card is US-920579, the pre-printed text on the back reads: On March 26, 1903 - seven years after Anchor Brewing began making beer on San Francisco's Russian Hill - the team that would become known as the San Francisco Seals played its first Pacific Coast League game. Paid attendance at Recreation Park, south of Market Street, was 5,235. Ladies were admitted free. San Francisco defeated Portland 7-3, in a 90-minute, 9-inning contest. Six years later, the seals won their first pennant, with a 132-80 record. By that time, Anchor had moved south of Market, near where it continues to brew San Francisco's original Anchor Steam Beer today. The first stamp is from the American Design issue, shows an American Clock and was released on the 24th January 2003. The second and third stamps are from the Love issue, show the King of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts and were released on the 8th May 2009.




This card is US-543162 and the pre-printed text on the back reads: Milo comes in a variety of colors, from pale yellow to deep rust. It is a feed grain and also is used in the production of ethanol. The stamps are the same as above.
