Bat’s Private Post issues surcharged, Paris Olympics stamps
Bat’s Private Post in Beverly Hills, California, last month released several new local post stamps.
On June 15, three low-value stamps were issued. They include a die cut bat with manuscript “BPP 1¢,” plus the 4¢ and 45¢ California Condor stamps originally issued in August 2021 overprinted “2” and “5¢,” respectively.

According to a note from Bat’s Private Post, these stamps were overprinted to create needed small-denomination make-up stamps.
Bat’s Private Post on June 26 also issued a brand new pair of stamps celebrating the 2024 Summer Olympics being held in Paris. The 5¢ stamp pictures 1924 Paris Olympics swimmers Johnny Weissmuller (1904–1984) and Duke Kahanamoku (1890–1968), while the 78¢ stamp pictures runners Ray Armstead and Alonzo Babers at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
