The cachet artwork features a black-and-white historical photograph of the Boston Red Stockings baseball team, with players posing in uniform. The stamp depicts a colorful Olympic-themed baseball scene with a catcher and batter in action. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with a baseball glove design, clearly readable with the date 'April 3, 1992' and location 'Atlanta, GA.' The cover is in excellent condition with no visible damage.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
