1997 USPS Legends of Hollywood Humphrey Bogart Full Sheet, 20 × 32¢ Stamps

Complete intact pane from the United States Postal Service's Legends of Hollywood commemorative series, issued in 1997 honoring Humphrey Bogart. The sheet contains twenty 32¢ stamps featuring a color portrait of Bogart against a warm orange ground, with the iconic trench-coated, fedora-clad full-length figure printed in the right-hand selvage alongside biographical text referencing The Maltese Falcon (1941), Casablanca (1943), and his Academy Award for The African Queen (1951).

The selvage carries the full USPS 1997 copyright, the Humphrey Bogart™ / Bogart, Inc. c/o CMG Worldwide licensing line, plate position marker, and the "20 × .32 = $6.40" face value notation. The Legends of Hollywood series, launched in 1995 with Marilyn Monroe, became one of the most collected modern USPS commemorative programs; Bogart was the third honoree. Sheet remains unused with original gum intact.

CONDITION

Excellent. Sheet is complete and unused, stored flat with no folds, creases, or separations. Perforations are sound on all stamps. Original gum is intact and undisturbed throughout.
