Offered here is a James Brown Black and Brown Stamps booklet with approximately 450 stamps applied to the pages. Condition is tight and crisp with natural yellowing and some crinkle due to using moisture to apply the stamps. Very difficult to find a near-complete booklet like this. An essential piece of ephemera for collectors of Soul and Funk as well as African-American history!
From the Museum of Uncut Funk:
The Black and Brown Trading Stamp Corporation was established in 1969 in Oakland, California by former Oakland Raiders football player Art Powell, who saw an opportunity to create and reward loyalty within the Black community through trading stamps featuring Black American icons. The first and only icon featured on these stamps was James Brown, which reflects the fact that James Brown put up most of the money to start the company. The stamps were issued by Black merchants in Downtown Oakland to provide incentives to local patrons in the Black community. A full book of 50 pages of stamps was worth the equivalent of .00 in merchandise. During the first year the effort grew to include 1,000 merchants across California and generated over million dollars in business.
