A Special Message from

Dear Friend,

I never imagined that characters I created such as Spider-Man, the , and the would end up on actual u.s. stamps! But now, I see them staring up at me from real stamps ... and I'm thrilled to know that fans everywhere can share my passion for these and other characters.

I was even more ecstatic to be involved in a brand new collection that transforms these postage stamps into limited-edition silver stamp ingots, along with other characters on matching silver medallions.

This is the first collection of its kind that includes both stamp ingots and medallions. I am proud to be a part of this exciting new adventure, and Stan Lee I hope that you are able to join me in collecting these wonderful tributes The man behind the heroes since 1941 to Marvel Comics. I have spent a lifetime bringing these characters to you, and I know that you and your family will take great pride in owning this collection. It is truly The Collection!
