Dgn 851: Sc. 5957 Allen Toussaint — 5½"x8½" Dragon Card showing him in front of an open grand piano. Eight additional stamps show other jazz pianists. The Digital Color Postmark and Pictorial Postmark tie all 9 stamps. — larger illustration (new window)...$20.00 |
The other stamps are Sc. 3096 Count Basie, 2211 Duke Ellington, 2986 Jelly Roll Morton, 2988 Eubie Blake, Toussaint, 2990 Thelonious Monk, 2985 James P. Johnson, 4807 Ray Charles, and 2992 Erroll Garner.
And here's a secret about the combo: There's an 80% B&W image of each stamp below each one, to help with placement. Except at the last minute, I decided to replace the Marvin Gaye stamp with Ray Charles, because he was more "jazz" than Gaye.
