Seabiscuit postage stamp now available!

How cool!

The stamp was designed by John Mattos, and it was unveiled in May.

The stamp depicts the match race Seabiscuit ran with War Admiral. My oh my--look at Seabiscuit blow the doors off of the Triple Crown winner! This is the moment Seabiscuit became a true Champion...and it was captured beautifully with this beautiful Mattos illustration.

Here's a story about the unveiling ceremony:
