The cachet features a hand-drawn pencil and colored pencil artwork of a baseball with red stitching on white envelope paper. The stamp is a 29-cent USA Olympic Baseball stamp showing players in action with the Olympic rings, issued for the 1992 Summer Olympics. The pictorial cancellation depicts a baseball glove, bat, and ball with Olympic rings, reading 'First Day of Issue, Atlanta, GA 30304, April 3, 1992.' A handwritten notation '1/5 Patrick Finley' appears at lower left, suggesting this is number 1 of 5 hand-made cachets by the artist.

Mistral

The cachet features a hand-drawn baseball with red stitching in pencil and colored pencil. The stamp depicts Olympic baseball action with the Olympic rings and is canceled with a pictorial postmark showing a baseball glove, bat, and ball. The postmark is dated April 3, 1992, from Atlanta, GA. The envelope is signed '1/5 Patrick Finley' in pencil, indicating it is the first in a limited edition series.
