We rented our first television to watch the 1960 Olympics in Rome where Cassius Clay won his gold medal. We little thought then that he would become so great.
The stamps I have to show from those Games are these in a old (1963) album I was given -

Classic set of stamps.
Interesting stamps. We did the same when we first came to Canada, rented a TV to see the Olympics from Montreal.
I like how these could also work well as posters.
Hi Bob - what a great set of stamps ... such fun to see. I think I can distinguish most of the sports ... we must have got our first tv then too - but I was away at school during term time ...
Cheers Hilary
