ALL STAR CATALOG
The annual major league All-Star game is really nothing more than an exhibition game, but it is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Fans of both leagues eagerly root for their own team or player, and fans of baseball everywhere get to see the very best players in baseball appear together on one diamond. The All-Star Game is also a showcase of many of tomorrow’s Hall of Famers.
Because the All-Star teams can be almost the same in consecutive years, we at Gateway have decided NOT to produce an All-Star set or even one envelope each year. However, since 1979, we have created sets and sometimes singles for anniversaries, exciting matchups, or all-time records. When you examine the choices we have made through the years, you can see some all-time great players in their prime, while other players were featured in anticipation of greatness.
PLEASE NOTE: Envelopes described as "artpiece designs" are Scott Forst stadium or designs that serve as a neutral commemorative for any participating player to autograph.

Postmarked July 17, 1979, Seattle - 16 different envelopes including four different artpiece designs and twelve
game photos (6-National League and 6-American League). All artpiece envelopes were printed with the same
game information. Each National League and American League envelope reflects the starting lineups. Only the
pictured players are different. 26,000 large round postmarks were used; 4,000 smaller "bullet" postmarks were
used, but only on the American League envelopes. Only 2,000 of each silk were made.
OUTSTANDING photos were used on all silks. Pictured players signed their own pictured envelopes, while non-pictured players signed artpiece envelopes, in most instances.
