Richard Petty stamps: Premier Postage, a leading provider of officially licensed postage and collectibles, announced an agreement with Petty Enterprises to introduce a series of U.S. postage that honors the career of NASCAR legend Richard Petty. "We feel privileged to be working with a racing icon," said Mike Samora, Founder and President of Premier Postage. "The products we plan to introduce will represent the first time Richard Petty has been featured on real U.S. postage."
"This is really quite an honor," said Petty. "I've had my photo on a lot of different things, but this is really unique. What's neat is that fans can collect the postage or use it on their mail." The first postage collectible will pay tribute to Petty's 50 years in NASCAR - both as a driver and team owner. The collectible will feature a limited edition postage stamp on a 5" x 7" commemorative photo sheet. Each sheet will retail for $7.99 on RaceStamps.com, NASCAR.com Superstore, and select retail outlets.(PR)(11-12-2008)
