Calico Joe quickly becomes the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing New York Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faces Calico Joe, Paul is in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his dad. Then Warren throws a fastball that will change their lives forever.

    The stamps received were exactly as advertised and in excellent condition given their age and price. They arrived very quickly and had been well-packaged to protect them during shipping and handling by the USPS. This was a great purchase for me and I’m very glad for the chance to obtain these for my collection. I'm completely satisfied and highly recommend this seller to everyone.

    This seller even after selling more than 15K items is still able to maintain a 100% rating. If you deal with him you'll see why. I received a great assortment of Great American stamps. The item arrived on time and was carefully packaged. I had to communicate with the seller and found him very easy to deal with and he made sure I was satisfied. I have bought a number of items from this seller and would not hesitate in buying from or recommending this seller.
