Think They Licked Each One?
World's Largest Ball of Stamps
Remember when people used to send letters in the mail? Long before E-mail and the Internet, the Boys Town Stamp Collection Club began creating the world's largest ball of stamps. Beginning in 1953, they collected 4,655,000 cancelled stamps and rolled them into a 32-inch, 600-pound ball, which is still on display today. Why did they do it? According to the staff's secretary, "It must have been a particularly cold winter."
