USPS stamps “Celebrate The Century” 10 sheets/150 stamps and album

The USPS issued the first Celebrate The Century souvenir sheet on February 3, 1998, in Washington, DC. It began one of the largest stamp series in US history. Highlighting the important events of the century, each sheet pictures subjects of a decade from the following categories: People and Events, Arts and Entertainment, Lifestyles, Sports, Politics, and Science and Technology. The series includes 150 stamps issued over the two years leading up to the new century. A short description of each stamp is on the back. A large photo representing the decade and a summary of events, including new words that came into use, are on the salvage of each sheet. The complete series is available here, along with the album issued by the USPS to display the collection. I have included the cost for priority mail to guarantee Christmas arrival but it can be changed to a less expensive shipping option if that isn’t an issue.
