DISTRICT MANAGERS, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SALES POSTMASTERS SUBJECT: Promoting the Legends of Baseball Stamps Through the U.S. commemorative stamp program, the Postal Service continues to help preserve traditions that speak to the heart of America and to honor those people, places, and events that impact our lives. With the issuance of the Legends of Baseball stamps, we have a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate our role as a community leader by coordinating local events to help celebrate one of our country’s greatest traditions and America’s favorite pastime. Over the past year, the Postal Service has partnered with Major League Baseball to develop this pane of stamps honoring 20 of baseball’s greatest players. The events surrounding the issuance of these stamps will give our customers, employees, friends, and family an opportunity to share in the pride and glory of All-Star Week this year. The stamps will be issued July 6 in conjunction with the “Club MLB Road Show” at International Plaza in Atlanta. In addition to sales that day at Atlanta post offices and at the Club MLB Road Show, the stamps will be sold at a Postal Service retail booth at the John Hancock All-Star FanFest July 7–11. The week’s festivities end with the 71st All-Star Game at Turner Field. We invite employees living in the Atlanta area, and those planning on visiting, to attend the first day of issue ceremony and to consider participating in other scheduled activities. We believe these stamps will be very popular with sports fans, history buffs, and stamp collectors from coast to coast. Therefore, we encourage you to support local “second day of issue” events to help the Postal Service “hit one out of the park.” This edition of the Postal Bulletin contains a Legends of Baseball stamps Field Kit to use as a guide for event planning and publicity. Please note that only approved licensees listed in this kit have Postal Service approval to produce products. We thank you for your ongoing support of the stamp program.

Post offices planning events may use only the designs depicted. Offices can offer these cancellations through mail-back service for 30 days. Two designs are available: one that bears a team logo for events held in partnership with your local Major League Baseball team, and one with a generic All-Century Team logo for second-day or special events that don’t involve a Major League team. As a reminder, the Postal Service must endeavor to make all unusual postmarking services widely known to collectors through advance publicity to avoid limiting the availability of these postmarks. Therefore, all pictorial cancellations must be reported to Stamp Development three weeks prior to local events. Please use the announcement form on page 25 to report your use of the cancellation. Guidelines for Finalizing Legends of Baseball Station Pictorial Cancellation Art To finalize the Legends of Baseball Station pictorial cancellation art, insert the date and the city, state, and ZIP Code of the physical location of your event adjacent to the stamp image.

This requirement may be met by printing “USPS FSM 881 Approved Polywrap” or “USPS 881 Approved Poly” or “USPS FSM 1000 Approved Polywrap” or “USPS 1000 Approved Poly,” as applicable, on the address side of the piece(s), preferably below the postage area or in another visible location on the outside of the mailpiece. The polywrap marking may be printed directly onto the polywrap material. The polywrap marking must not interfere with the delivery address or with recognition of the barcode. A list of polywrap products approved by the Postal Service appears on the USPS Web site (http://ribbs.usps.gov).

NOTICE Special Services New Barcoded Labels and Forms

The following information is applicable to special services labels and forms obtained from a post office, station, or branch. By now, all post offices, stations, and branches should have discarded their nonbarcoded labels and forms and replaced them with the new barcoded versions for the following: PS Form 3800, Certified Mail Receipt; PS Form 3813-P, Receipt for Insured Mail — Domestic–International; PS Form 8099, Receipt for Recorded Delivery; Label 200, Registered Mail; and PS Form 3804, Return Receipt for Merchandise. Many customers that use large quantities of these items (PS Form 3800 in particular) require that they receive them in sequential order. Labels and forms issued between December 1999 and January 2000 were printed out of sequence; however, all items issued thereafter have been in sequential order. Post offices should swap the out-of-sequence labels and forms with those that are in sequence for customers who request them. Numeric sequence does not matter for post office use. Note: Some customers believe that their labels or forms are out of sequence when in fact they are not. Advise these customers to ignore the check digit (last digit on the far right of the label) to determine if they are sequential. The check digit is not part of the sequential numbering. Check Digit Calculations As might be expected, customers that use software programs to calculate the sequential order of special services labels and forms obtained from a post office, station, or branch have to reprogram their computers to reproduce barcoded label numbers. These customers need to add the check digit algorithm to their existing software. The check digit calculations are as follows. Barcode Numbering (20 Digits) for Postal Service–Printed Labels PS Form 3800 and PS Form 3804 are sequentially numbered using the standard USS Code 128 Barcode System, incorporating a Weighted Modulus 10 Check Digit. The 20-digit barcode consists of the following elements: H 2-digit (Numeric Product Code: 70 or 80) H 5-digit (Julian Date) H 12-digit (Numeric Sequence Number) H 1-digit (Modulus 10 Check Digit) Barcode Numbering (13 Digits) for Postal Service–Printed Labels PS Form 3813-P, PS Form 8099, and Label 200 are sequentially numbered using the standard USS Code 128 Barcode System, incorporating a Weighted Modulus 11 Check Digit. The 13-digit barcode consists of the following elements: H 2-digit (Alpha Product Code: V”A – V”, A”A – V” or R”A-V”) H 8-digit (Numeric Sequence Number) H 1-digit (Weighted Modulus 11 Check Digit) H 2-digit (Alpha Country Code: US) Note: These labels contain 13 digits instead of 20 digits because they are used domestically and internationally. The 13-digit restriction is in accordance with Universal Postal Union (UPU) standards. Modulus 10 Check Digit Formula for Postal Service–Printed Labels 1. Set up a matrix for 20 positions, labeled 20 through 1, with position 1 being the most significant position in the matrix (i.e., the right-most position). Starting from the least significant position of the matrix, position 20, copy the first 19 digits of the number into the second row of the matrix. 2. Starting from position 2 of the matrix, add up the value in the even-numbered positions. 3. Multiply the result of step two by 3. 4. Starting from position 3 of the matrix, add up the values in the odd-numbered positions. 5. Add the results of steps three and four. 6. The check digit is the smallest number that when added to the result obtained in step five gives a number that is evenly divisible by 10. POSTAL BULLETIN 22026 (6-15-00) PAGE 33

Modulus 11 Weighted Check Digit Formula for Postal Service–Printed Labels 1. Apply weighted factors to basic number using the weighted factor 86423597. 2. Obtain the sum of this product. 3. Divide the sum by 11. 4. Subtract the remainder from 11. The result is the check digit. 5. If the remainder is zero, use 5 as the check digit. If the remainder is 1, use zero as the check digit.

Note: The preceding information is applicable to Postal Service–printed labels and forms (labels and forms obtained from a post office, station, or branch). Commercially Printed Special Services Labels The technical requirements for producing barcoded special services labels and forms are published in Publication 109, Special Services Technical Guide — Postal Forms and Labels, published March 2000.
