On April 25, 2008, in Burlingame, California, the USPS issued Tropical Fruit definitive stamps in five designs. Designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. Illustrator Sergio Baradat of New York, New York, created art that visually slices or halves five tropical fruits, depicting them in mouth-watering, eye-catching colors. Shown are: Pomegranate (Punica granatum, Star Fruit (Averrhoa carambola), Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa). Papaya (Carica papaya), Guava (Psidium guajava). When asked to describe the stamp art, Baradat commented simply, "Luscious."

 

These are real USPS postage stamps that are accepted by the USA Postal Service as payment for mail posted in the USA however the total rates on the stamps posted must equal or exceed the current appropriate postal mailing rate or extra postage must be paid.

 

The stamp set shown in the picture is a stock photo and is likely not a picture of the exact stamp set you will receive and it may differ in plate number and/or orientation. However the item you will receive will be similar including having a plate number (if one is present in the photos) and the same number of stamps. Stamps titled as MNH, OG will have no significant creases or unnatural gum disturbances unless otherwise noted.
