The cachet features a painted illustration of a baseball play at a base, with a player wearing number 2 sliding, a fielder catching, and an umpire watching, set against a colorful crowd in the stands. The text reads 'OLYMPIC' in red at the top and 'BASEBALL' in black at the bottom. The 29-cent USA stamp depicts a baseball collision at home plate with the Olympic rings visible. The pictorial cancellation features a baseball glove, bat, and ball design with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' text.

Mistral

The cachet artwork depicts a vivid baseball scene with a player sliding into a base, a fielder attempting to tag him, and an umpire making the call, all set against a backdrop of a cheering stadium crowd. The 29-cent stamp features a dramatic play at home plate with the Olympic rings in the background, celebrating the 1994 Summer Olympics. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with baseball equipment—a glove, bat, and ball—and marks the First Day of Issue. The envelope is in excellent condition with clear, legible text and artwork.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
