Gateway Stamp Company has provided collectors over 1 MILLION
authenticated certified autographs over the last 30+ years.
Though a "stamp company", Gateway went down a new creative road
combining art, color photographs, historical events & autographs
with their full-color silk cachet envelopes.
WHAT IS A SILK CACHET ?
A "cachet" is a design on an envelope marking an event.
"Silk" refers to the delicate material the art and photography are
printed on after which it's signed by the player and then post-marked by
the Post Office IN THE EVENT'S CITY !!!
WHY POSTMARKS?
A postmark is a great way to mark historical events and the rules
governing postmarks GUARANTEES that NO Gateway issue can EVER be
re-issued protecting their value !!!

Baseball card collecting terms (part D-F)
Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by
"Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design.
Most are serially numbered & limited.
Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards,
many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards.
Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but
it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957
"reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.
"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected.
When this correction happens a VARIATION is created.
Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others
are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.
Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or
Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set
with new and traded players.
Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show
what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.
Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes
produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors
have put together card by card from packs.
