FREE: Used U.S. Stamp #4464 44¢ Oscar Micheaux

The listing, Used U.S. Stamp #4464 44¢ Oscar Micheaux has ended.

The 33rd stamp in the Black Heritage series honors pioneering filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, who wrote, directed, produced, and distributed more than 40 movies during the first half of the 20th century. An ambitious, larger-than-life figure, Micheaux thrived at a time when African-American filmmakers were rare, venues for their work were scarce, and support from the industry did not exist. Micheaux’s entrepreneurial spirit and independent vision continue to inspire new generations of filmmakers and artists.

This stamp features a stylized portrait of Oscar Micheaux by Gary Kelley. The artwork is based on one of the few surviving photographs of Micheaux, a portrait that appeared in his 1913 novel, The Conquest.

This stamp has been removed from the paper and the adhesive has been completely removed with not even a trace of stickiness at all. (A bit time-consuming since these don't release in water, but I find the stamps always look better this way.) Nice condition with no rips, creases or thins. I am not a professional stamp grader though so please use the picture to decide the condition for yourself.

These are extras in my collection. Maybe someone here would appreciate adding this to their collection. The picture shows the exact stamp you will receive.
