Sports Balls 2017

Celebrate America’s passion for athletics with the Have a Ball! Forever stamps. Eight round designs feature colorful illustrations of balls used in baseball, basketball, football, golf, kickball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. A special coating applied to selected areas creates tactile textures that imitate stitching, dimples, seams, panels, and raised surface patterns. Daniel Nyari created the artwork, Mike Ryan designed the stamps, and Greg Breeding served as art director. Issued in 2017 in panes of 16 containing two of each design, these Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
